Kelly departs Melbourne Storm

Young Storm halfback, Luke Kelly, has signed with Parramatta Eels.

Despite signing from 2013, Kelly will join the Eels next week after Melbourne Storm granted his request for an early release.

Kelly has an opportunity to play first grade football immediately at the Eels, and the club was happy to support his request.

Kelly, 23, made his debut in 2009, the same year he captained Storm
