Keith Kelly (born 5 March 1983) is a Jamaican professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Antiguan club Greenbay Hoppers. Between 2000 and 2005 he made nine appearances for the Jamaica national team.
A midfielder, Kelly was once regarded as one of the brightest Jamaican talents. He played at the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship[1] and caught the eye of French giants Paris St Germain. He also played in the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship.[2] However, he never made the grade at PSG and was loaned out to Belgian side Mons before returning to Jamaica in 2003. After a several month battle over his contract rights, Kelly finally signed a contract to play for Arnett Gardens. His time at Arnett Gardens was marked by poor fitness and motivation but he was able to earn a few national team caps during his time. In 2005, it was rumored that Kelly would return to Harbour View as a replacement for Jermaine Hue, however it did not materialize. He then picked up a severe injury while playing for Trinidadian outfit CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh in November 2005 and after almost two years in the wilderness with a broken foot, Kelly returned to Jamaican football with Harbour View in summer 2007. In January 2011, Kelly moved to Sporting Central Academy in Clarendon.[3] [4] Kelly returned to Harbour View ahead of the 2013–14 season.[5]
Kelly led Jamaica to appearances in the 1999 U-17 World Cup in New Zealand and the 2001 U-20 World Cup in Argentina. He made his senior debut for Jamaica in a November 2001 World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica. He has collected ten more caps since, his last international match being a February 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying game against Barbados.
