Club career

Born in Michalovce, Czechoslovakia, Kelemen played in no fewer than seven clubs as a youth, having started at local MFK Zemplín. He began his professional career with national powerhouse ŠK Slovan Bratislava and, in January 2002, signed with Bursaspor from Turkey.

After returning to his country and Slovan, Kelemen soon joined Latvia's FK Ventspils.

In 2007, following Vecindario's relegation, Kelemen moved to Aris Thessaloniki FC. In January 2009, not being first-choice for the Greek, he returned to Spain, this time to its La Liga, signing with CD Numancia until the end of the season,[http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=soc-spa/news/news.aspx?id=4208102 Numancia swoops for trio] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525234310/http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=soc-spa%2Fnews%2Fnews.aspx%3Fid%3D4208102|date=25 May 2011}}; The Sports Network, 31 January 2009 which ended in relegation – he conceded five goals in the first half of his sole appearance, at Racing de Santander.[https://www.desdesoria.es/2013/05/29/breve-enciclopedia-numantina/ Breve enciclopedia numantina (Brief numantina encyclopedia)]; Desde Soria, 29 May 2013 (in Spanish)
