He went on to make over 100 appearances for the club and also featured in the 2009 Welsh Cup final defeat to Bangor City.[3] In May 2010, having been named in the 2009–10 Welsh Premier League team of the season,[4] Kellaway joined Dandenong Thunder along with fellow Welsh Premier players Luke Sherbon and Jamie Reed, making his debut in a 1–0 victory over Hume City on 29 May 2010.[5]

In July 2011, he re-joined Aberystwyth Town.[8] In June 2012 he moved to Llanelli but the club folded in April 2013.[9] He had a brief spell with Carmarthen Town before returning to Aberystwyth Town for a third spell.
