Staying in the class for the 2018 European Motocross Championship, Kellett finished twenty-sixth in the standings, recording one top-ten race finish. In the 2018 British Motocross Championship, he would finish ninth in the MX2 standings, whilst at the Weston Beach race he became only the third rider in history to win the event three consecutive times.[6] Kellett switched to competed on a two-stroke 250cc Yamaha in 2019, enabling him to compete in the EMX2T class of the 2019 European Motocross Championship. He was able to win take the overall win at the fourth round in Russia, eventually ending the championship in third.[7]

Beach Racing

Following his final season competing in the EMX classes, Kellett focussed on the discipline of Beach Racing, competing in the French Sand Racing Championship (CFS). He finished as runner-up in the series in 2019 and 2021, taking three wins across the two seasons.[8] In addition, Kellett took his fourth Weston Beach Race victory in 2021.[9] Kellett was able to take his first French Sand Championship title in the 2023 season, which coincided with him winning the famous Enduropale du Touquet event for the first time.[10] The 2023 Enduropale event doubled as the first round of the inaugural FIM Sand Races World Cup, where Kellett was crowned champion after the completion of the three round series.[11]

Kellett successfully defended his French Sand Championship title through the winter of 2023–2024, winning the Enduropale du Touquet for the second consecutive year. Due to his exploits in sand racing, Kellett received a call up to compete for the factory Yamaha team at the Sardinian round of the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship.[12] He successfully defended his FIM Sand Races World Cup title, winning every round in the expanded six round series.[13] In early 2026, Kellett became only the second rider in the history of the event to win the Enduropale du Touquet for four consecutive editions. The win crowned him both the 2025/6 French Sand Champion and 2025 FIM Sand Races World Champion.[14][15]
