Lelan's first taste of senior football came when he joined Football Conference side Gateshead on a months loan in September 2013.[4] He made his debut in the 1–0 win over Tamworth three days later.[5] Lelan returned to his parent club after making four appearance for the club.[6]

On 23 July 2014, Lelan joined Swindon Town on a one-month young loan.[7] He made his debut on the opening day of Swindon's 2014–15 campaign at home to Scunthorpe United.[8] On 29 August 2014, Lelan extended his loan at Swindon by a further month, which would see him stay at the club until 27 September 2014.[9] Lelan made five appearance for the club, as he was recalled by his parent club.[10]

At the end of the 2014-15 season, Lelan was released by the club.[11]
