5' 11" tall attacker born in Cameroon who was on West Ham's books from the age of 11, joining the club in 2003. Kery spent four years as part of the Hammers' Development Centre before being released in May 2007 aged 15.
He then spent 2007/08 in Croydon Athletic's Academy before switching to Barnet's Academy for the 2008/09 campaign. Kery was released by Barnet in January 2010.
He then signed for Kent League club Erith & Belvedere and Kery spent the remainder of the 2009/10 season there.
In the summer of 2010 he joined Hampton & Richmond and in October 2010 they loaned Kery to Feltham.
He made four appearances for the Combined Counties League Division 1 outfit and scored once in a 5-1 home defeat against Bedfont Sports on 23.10.10 before going back to Hampton & Richmond.
Kery was then loaned out again almost immediately and joined Walton & Hersham. He didn't play in the Isthmian League Division 1 South for the Swans but did feature in the FA Trophy.
He left Hampton & Richmond towards the end of 2010 having only ever played twice as a substitute for their reserves and Kery then had a short spell in Charlton's Academy. He also took part in Samsung's nationwide 'Win a Pro Contract' competition in an effort to gain a contract with Swindon and Kery reached the last three before bowing out.
In February 2011 he joined Thamesmead of the Isthmian League Division 1 North having been recommended to the club by Charlton and Kery made four substitute appearances without scoring in the league. He also had a trial at Notts County before the end of the 2010/11 campaign.
Kery started 2011/12 with Croydon Athletic and on 29.8.11 he scored twice as they lost 3-2 in an Isthmian League Division 1 South game at Faversham. He left the club a few weeks later.
In November 2011 Kery again took part in Samsung's 'Win a Pro Contract' competition to win a contract with Swindon and he reached the final.
At the start of December 2011 he signed for Isthmian League Premier Division outfit Horsham and Kery went on to score twice from 20 league outings (four as sub) during the remainder of the 2011/12 season. One of his goals came in a 2-1 defeat at Margate on 3.3.12 and on 2.5.12 Kery scored the winner in the 120th minute as Horsham beat Worthing 3-2 in the Brighton Charity Cup Final. He stayed with Horsham until October 2012 when he asked to be released. Kery had scored once in an FA Cup tie during the early weeks of 2012/13 but had only featured three times in the league for Horsham, twice as a substitute.
Kery then joined Margate on trial and made his debut in a 4-0 defeat against Metropolitan Police in an Isthmian League Cup tie played at Hartsdown Park on 16.10.12. He didn't feature in the first team again, not even as an unused substitute, and in November 2012 Kery left the club.
He then linked up with Waltham Forest of the Isthmian League Division 1 North where he made five league appearances (one as sub) and scored once - in a 2-1 defeat at Thamesmead on 24.11.12.
Towards the end of the 2012/13 season Kery joined Conference South club Bromley and he played for their reserves during the remainder of the campaign. He was still turning out for them at the start of 2013/14.
In September 2013 Kery rejoined Horsham of the Isthmian League Division 1 South but after a few weeks there he signed for Eastbourne Town.
Kery made his debut for Eastbourne as they lost 2-1 at home to Chipstead in Division 1 South on 26.10.13 and he found himself in the same side as veteran former Margate striker Rocky Baptiste.
Kery was the nephew of Wolverhampton Wanderers defender George Elokobi.
