Argyle were looking to secure a return for Kellett in the 2015 winter transfer window transfer window. He’d spent two months on loan at Home Park earlier in the season, making 15 appearances in League Two and scoring his first career goal in a 3-2 away win at Northampton Town - a superb solo effort to win the club’s goal of the year.
