Andrew Paul "Andy" Kellett (born 10 November 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Manchester United on loan from Bolton Wanderers.
Career
Kellett came through Bolton's academy and made his debut for the team in a 0–1 loss against Leicester City on 22 April 2014, coming on as a substitute for Robert Hall for the last 20 minutes of the Championship match.[2] It was the first time in eight years a Bolton-born player had made his debut for the club from the academy.[3] He again came on from the bench the following game, a 3–1 away win at Sheffield Wednesday, where he was praised for his attitude and performance.[2]
On 17 October he signed on a month's loan for League Two club Plymouth Argyle[4] and later had the loan extended for a further month.[5] His first Plymouth appearance was a goalless draw at AFC Wimbledon four days after signing,[6] and he scored his first career goal on 13 December, in a 3–2 win over Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium.[7]
On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Manchester United beat off competition from Plymouth to sign Kellet on loan for the rest of the season, with Saidy Janko going in the opposite direction for the same period.[8][9] According to Bolton manager Neil Lennon, Kellett believed that Lennon was "winding him up" when he mentioned United's interest in him.[10]
