A rover, he played eight senior games in 1957 but only two in 1958.{{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/T/Tom_Pelly.html| title=Tom Pelly| publisher=AFL Tables}} He finished the 1958 season at Williamstown, having been cleared by North Melbourne in July, and was a member of their VFA premiership team that year and again in 1959.The Age, [https://news.google.com.au/newspapers?id=GEkRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JpUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6858,534965&dq "Geelong Rover May Miss Rest of Season"], 4 July 1958.
