Career Early career and Stevenage Jellis began his career with Aylesbury United, making his first-team debut at the age of 16, scoring on his debut as a substitute in a 1–3 loss at Bedford Town. He made 10 appearances for Aylesbury before his 17th birthday and, following a brief spell with Tring Corinthians, signed for League Two side Stevenage in November 2017. Following a series of injuries, including a broken leg, Jellis had two successful loan spells in the early part of the 2019–20 season, at former club Aylesbury and Hitchin Town. On his return to Stevenage, he turned professional in January 2020. Shortly after signing pro-terms at Stevenage, Jellis spent a month on loan at Wingate & Finchley.

Later in 2022, Jellis joined Tamworth on loan for a month, before returning on loan again in February 2023. He joined Tamworth permanently in the summer of 2023. Jellis was part of the Lambs side that won back-to-back league titles by securing the Southern League Premier Division Central title in 2023 and the National League North title in 2024.
