Kellock was born in Stockport in 1892 and began his career with hometown club Stockport County. He did not make any first-team appearances for the club however, and moved to France, playing for St Brieux immediately before joining Argyle in February 1913. An inside or outside-left, the club handbook explained that "he has had considerable experience both in England and France" and that he is "a most prolific goal getter".

Kellock made only a few appearances at Home Park before the outbreak of war put his career on hold, although he did return to former club Stockport County as a wartime guest during the 1915-16 and 1918-19 seasons. He also guested for Burnley during the conflict, scoring 14 times in 21 games. At the cessation of hostilities he returned to Plymouth and was the club's top scorer during the 1919-20 campaign. However, he could not keep his place in the team when Argyle entered the Football League the following season and in 1921 he left Home Park for Torquay United. Unable to break into the Torquay side he soon moved on to Aberdare Athletic, where he scored 4 goals in 15 appearances. In 1922 he joined Barrow, netting 12 times in 29 games, before returning to Plainmoor, where he finished as top goalscorer in the 1923–24 and 1924–25 seasons and ended his career.
