“I couldn’t be happier to commit my future to the GIANTS as I see big things coming for the club,” Kelly said in a club statement.
“I’ve been a GIANT since being drafted in 2013 and after weighing everything up, just can’t wait to continue building on what we have here at the GIANTS.
“The club has grown considerably since I’ve arrived. We’ve got a strong track record of playing finals football and I believe the best is yet to come for the GIANTS.
“I can’t wait for what lies ahead for this team and the club.”
The 26-year-old has played 151 games for the Giants.
