Club career
Kelava played for Dinamo Zagreb's youth teams from 1997, being promoted to the club's senior squad in the summer of 2006.
Dinamo Zagreb
He started his first–team career as the club's fourth–choice goalkeeper and did not appear in any competitive matches during the 2006–07 season. Kelava debuted for Dinamo in the Croatian Cup in September 2007, before eventually making his Croatian First League debut in a 2–1 away victory against NK Zadar on 27 October 2007. By the end of the season he managed to establish himself as the club's second–choice goalkeeper, making a total of 7 league appearances. On 2 October 2008, he made his European debut, replacing the injured Tomislav Butina in the opening minutes of the second leg of their UEFA Cup first round fixture against Sparta Prague.
In August 2009 Kelava was loaned to Lokomotiva, where he established himself as their first–choice goalkeeper and made a total of 33 league appearances.
On 11 September 2010, he made his first appearance for Dinamo since returning from the loan, coming on as a substitute for the injured Lončarić in a league match at Hajduk Split. Five days later, he kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 home win against Villarreal in the club's opening UEFA Europa League group match of the season. Kelava was the first choice goalkeeper in the 2011–12 season as well, becoming a hero among Dinamo fans after making a number of crucial saves in the return leg of the Champions League play-off against Malmö FF which saw Dinamo through.
Udinese
On the 4 July 2013, Kelava joined Udinese for €1 million. He made his Serie A debut on 25 August 2013, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Lazio. After being a backup to Željko Brkić, he subsequently had loan stints at Carpi and Spartak Trnava.
Granada
On 25 August 2015 Kelava moved to Udinese's feeder club Granada CF, mainly as a replacement to Real Sociedad-bound Oier Olazábal. On 29 December 2016 he terminated his contract, after being rarely used.
International career
Between 2004 and 2010 Kelava was capped over 50 times for Croatia at various youth levels. He won a total of 15 international caps for the Croatian national under-21 football team since making his debut against Chile U20 in a friendly played in Kuala Lumpur on 20 May 2008.
Kelava was called up by Slaven Bilić in the Croatia squad for Euro 2012, but failed to make an appearance in the tournament. Bilić was succeeded by Igor Štimac, who also called up Kelava as an unused third choice goalkeeper behind Stipe Pletikosa and Danijel Subašić for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification.
