Kiely quit Dream Team three times but returned each time after struggling to find alternative roles. The character was eventually killed off at Kiely's request in 2005, but returned in the final series to act as a spirit guide to Harchester United player Jason Porter. Fletcher appeared to him as his guide, after Porter took part in a ouija board event.

He has also appeared in Mike Bassett: England Manager playing the character Harpsey, a womaniser constantly on his mobile phone (much to the annoyance of his manager), and Family Affairs, where he briefly played the character PC Dan Ellison.

In an interview with Talksport in March 2023, Kiely stated he quit acting after falling out of love with the profession and was now working as a host for an upmarket private members club in Soho.^[3]
