Born in Catral, Alicante, Valencian Community, Kellyan joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2012, from Elche CF. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 13 September 2017, starting in a 3–0 Tercera División away defeat of CD Melistar.[1]

On 7 September 2019, as starter Munir was on international duty, Kellyan made his first team debut by playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–1 home loss against UD Almería, in the Segunda División.[2][3] The following 19 August, he renewed his contract until 2022 and was immediately loaned to Segunda División B side UD Ibiza for the campaign.[4]

Kellyan was a backup to Germán Parreño as Ibiza achieved a first-ever promotion to the second division. On 7 August 2021, he signed for El Palo FC of the Tercera División RFEF.[5]
