He started his football career with local side Holmlia SK before being discovered by Vålerenga.[2] Fellah scored in his debut for Vålerenga in Tippeligaen. on 10 September 2006 in a match against Fredrikstad.[citation needed]

When the Norway U18 team met Turkey twice in three days in August 2007, Fellah was badly injured in a challenge with Serdar Aziz in the second game and broke his calf bone.[3] He required surgery, and lost the rest of the 2007 season. The injury would not heal properly, and during the fall of 2008 he had to operate again. Fellah came back fully in the 2009 season playing a total of 23 games in Tippeligaen.[citation needed]

Fellah started Vålerenga's first 14 matches in Tippeligaen in the 2010 season and was voted "man of the match" in three of the games by Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang.[citation needed]
