Kelly began cycling at the age of five.[2] He achieved success as a junior, winning the junior Kilo at the Australian National Track Championships.

Kelly has competed in five Olympic Games.[4] He won a silver medal in the 1000 m time trial at the 1992 Summer Olympics. Kelly is well known for an infamous mishap in the cycling at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Going into the kilo event, he was the world record holder and strong favourite. However his foot slipped from the pedal at the start, and he did not start racing.[5] Kelly won a bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and came fourth at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Also in 2004 he competed in the Keirin event, winning a bronze medal. He was fourth across the line, but another cyclist was disqualified for dangerous riding. The 1000m time trial event was removed from the Olympic program after 2004. At the 2008 Summer Olympics Kelly came fourth in the Keirin.

Kelly was the world champion in the kilo for three consecutive times, from 1995 to 1997. He also competed at the Commonwealth Games, winning gold in the 1000 m time trial in 1994 and 1998. Kelly has also won a World Championship in the Team Sprint in 1996.
