[21] On 1 October 2020, Kelly scored his sides third goal of the game in a 3–1 win over KÍ of the Faroe Islands at the Aviva Stadium to secure a Group Stage spot in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League for his club, where they would go on to face Premier League club Arsenal, Molde of Norway and Rapid Vienna of Austria, with Kelly later describing the goal as his 'best moment in a Dundalk jersey'.
[24] He played in all 6 of the club's UEFA Europa Conference League fixtures in the summer of 2021 as they defeated Newtown of Wales and FCI Levadia Tallinn of Estonia before narrowly being knocked out by Vitesse Arnhem of the Dutch Eredivisie.
