Juventus are pleased to announce the signing of versatile and talented defender Lloyd Kelly, who has signed a loan deal, with an obligation to buy, until 30 June 2025.

Arriving from Newcastle United in the English Premier League, Kelly brings with him experience, physicality, aerial strength and a solid defensive reading of the game.

Born on 6 October 1998 in Bristol, England, Kelly is a central defender who can also be deployed as a left-back. Rising through the Bristol City youth ranks, he made his first team debut in 2017, impressing with his combination of physical strength and technical qualities. In 2019 he moved to Bournemouth, where he remained until 2024, playing 141 games and scoring three goals.

He then joined Newcastle in the summer, featuring in a total of 14 matches for the Magpies.

Kelly is known for his speed, his ability to build up play from the back and his tactical reading of the game. Thanks to his imposing stature at 1.90m tall, he is strong in aerial duels, both in the defensive phase and in dead-ball situations. His dynamism allows him to adapt to different tactical formations, making him a valuable piece to Juventus’ puzzle.
