Mellor returned this summer to the Dabbers, where he started his career in 2007. He played in the 2007-08 season for the Dabbers under Steve Davis before joining Crewe Alex as a 17-year-old. He was briefly back on loan at Nantwich in 2009, before Davis was reunited again with Mellor at the Alex and it was under Steve that Kelvin had his breakthrough into Crewe’s first team, ending in two pieces of Wembley glory in the League 2 play-offs and the EFL Trophy in 2012 and 2013. Across two spells at Crewe he made over 130 appearances. He has vast EFL experience across several other clubs including Blackpool, Plymouth Argyle, Bradford City, Morecambe, Carlisle, and Accrington Stanley. Now 33, Mellor had been working with the club in recent months with our academy tie-in programme with Malbank Sixth Form, and now is back with us as a player.
