John Paul Kelly (born in Dublin, June 16, 1987) is an Irish footballer currently playing for Bohemians in the League of Ireland.
[edit] Club career
"Joxer" as he is commonly known as, played at youth level for Lourdes Celtic before moving to the famed Liverpool academy in 2003 under the guidance of Steve Heighway. He made quick progression at Liverpool and before long was a regular in the reserves. Despite this, he got homesick and returned to Dublin where he joined Bohemians.
He made his league debut on April 1 2005 in a 1-0 defeat by Derry City and soon became an integral part of the side. He played mostly on the wing under Gareth Farrelly but has moved into centre midfield under Sean Connor.
[edit] International career
"Joxer" has represented Ireland at many underage levels and was voted Under-19 Player of the Year at FAI Awards in 2006.
He captained the Irish Under-21 team in all three of their games in the Madeira tournament in early 2007.
