Across five U20 Championship appearances, Kelly has built his game around consistent, unglamorous impact — averaging over eight tackles per match points to a lock who stays involved defensively throughout. His carry numbers show a forward willing to front up repeatedly in tight spaces, with single-game peaks of nine carries and 26 metres suggesting he can elevate when the contest demands it. He is the kind of engine-room presence who logs heavy minutes and keeps his workrate honest.
