The hard-running defender has the ability to play both tall and small, and was even used in a run with role in the Hawthorn VFL side at the end of 2014.

Kelly will add depth to the Bulldogs list at 192cm, and will be looking to make his senior debut in 2015.

What they said:

“He’s got good game sense and is a great kick on both sides of his body.

“He was very close to getting a game at Hawthorn last season. We think after three very good development years at Hawthorn he could be ready to go given a good run with injury over the summer.” – Bulldogs Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple.
