Career Séamus Kelly signed for UCD from his hometown club, Tullamore Town, in the summer of 1993. Kelly made his League of Ireland debut on 19 September 1993. In the 1996–97 season, he was capped at international level by the Republic of Ireland B team. Kelly began his Cardiff career on the bench but was called upon at the end of the 1998–99 season when Hallworth broke two ribs in a match against Leyton Orient. He played in the final five matches of the season, making his debut in a 1–0 win over Southend United, helping the club clinch promotion to Division Two. The following season saw the same scenario at the opposite end of the table as Kelly played in the final six matches of the year but was unable to help the club to avoid relegation, and was released at the end of the season.

Kelly returned to Dublin to sign for St Patrick's Athletic in 2000.
