The Kerry attacker has had a phenomenal second season in the League of Ireland. He scored 17 goals in all competitions for the league’s newcomers in the 2024 season, just missing out on the leagues Golden Boot award in the final few games.

Kelliher, who is 23 years of age, played his underage football with Killarney Celtic before making the move to Kerry FC for the clubs inaugural season back in January of last year.
Since then he has become a fan favourite in Mounthawk Park. He’s played a total of 72 matches for the Kingdom’s sole League of Ireland side, which in itself is an amazing achievement over 2 seasons.

Kelliher becomes the first ever Kerry FC man to make the official player voted Team of the Year in the clubs history. Cork City’s runaway league win sees the Leesider’s have 6 players on the side. The students of UCD have 2 players each, Wexford FC are represented by Aaron Dobb’s while the man who beat Ryan to the League’s Golden Boot award Dean Ebbe rounds out the 11 named.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
