Joshua Kipkemboi W. Lelan (born 21 December 1994) is an English-born Kenyan professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Crawley Town.
Josh Lelan started his career within Derby County's youth system but went on to sign an extended scholarship.
Lelan's first taste of senior football came when he joined Football Conference side Gateshead on a months loan in September 2013. He made his debut in the 1–0 win over Tamworth three days later. Lelan returned to his parent club after making four appearances for Gateshead.
On 23 July 2014, Lelan joined Swindon Town on a one-month young loan. He made his debut on the opening day of Swindon's 2014–15 campaign at home to Scunthorpe United. 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. Lelan made five appearance for the club, as he was recalled by his parent club.
At the end of the 2014-15 season, Lelan was released by the club.
After being released by Derby County, Lelan joined Football League Two side Northampton Town on a 12-month contract
At the end of the 2015-16 season, Lelan was released by Northampton Town. Northampton manager Rob Page expressed regret after his decision to release Lelan, saying "the lad has gone in and given a good account of himself. From a supporters’ view it might be a little bit of a surprise, but we have made the decision [to release Lelan] as a group and what we think is best for this football club."
In July 2016, Lelan, in search of a new club, played as a trialist for League One team Gillingham in a 2-1 win over Concord Rangers and League Two team Plymouth Argyle in a 9-0 win over St Blazey.
