[edit] Career

Jelleyman began his career as a trainee with Peterborough United in 1998.[1] He had a short spell on loan at Boston United in 1998,[2] before breaking into the first team at age 19 during the 1999–00 season,[3] and was called up to the Welsh Under-21 squad for the match against Belarus in September 2000.[4] In August 2004, Jelleyman joined Boston United on a one-month loan with a view to a permanent deal,[5] but returned to Peterborough before being released on a free transfer and joining Mansfield Town in January 2005.[6] In six seasons at Peterborough United, he made 122 appearances in all competitions.[1] Jelleyman signed a new one-year contract at Mansfield Town in June 2007 with manager Billy Dearden describing him as having "...probably been one of my top three players since I came to the club...".[7] By the end of the 2007–08 season, Jelleyman had made over 140 appearances in all competitions for Mansfield.[1] After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Football Conference at the end of the 2007–08 season, he was out of contract but was offered new terms by the club.[8]
