Quick Facts
Biography
Andrew Paul "Andy" Kellett (born 10 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Wigan Athletic. He started his career at Bolton Wanderers and during the 2014–15 season, he also spent time on loan at Plymouth Argyle and Manchester United.
Career
Kellett came through the Bolton Wanderers academy and made his debut for the team in a 1–0 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. It was the first time in eight years a Bolton-born player had made his debut for the club after coming through the academy. 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.
On 17 October, he signed on a month's loan for League Two club Plymouth Argyle and later had the loan extended for a further month. His first Plymouth appearance was a goalless draw at AFC Wimbledon four days after signing, and he scored his first career goal on 13 December, in a 3–2 win over Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium.
On 2 February 2015, transfer deadline day, Manchester United beat off competition from Plymouth to sign Kellett on loan for the rest of the season, with Saidy Janko going in the opposite direction for the same period. According to Bolton manager Neil Lennon, Kellett believed that Lennon was "winding him up" when he mentioned United's interest in him. He made 10 appearances for the Manchester United under-21s during the loan, including one appearance in the 1–0 Manchester Senior Cup semi-final defeat away to his parent club, Bolton.
After returning to Bolton, Kellett signed a three-year contract with Wigan Athletic on 1 September 2015, moving for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut for the club on 5 September, coming on for Sean Murray in the 79th minute.
