Glentoran Born in
Belfast, Elliott had already snubbed moves to
Southend United and
Darlington, citing a desire to remain in the local area. He signed a two-year deal with Doncaster Rovers on 1 July. On 27 September 2008, Elliott became one of three men in the Rovers team to successfully hit the bar on the "Crossbar Challenge" on
Soccer AM. On 8 January 2009 Elliott joined
Grimsby Town on a one-month loan deal, this was extended for another month with Elliott eventually returning on 8 March. He was then loaned to
Stirling Albion two months later. In August 2010, Elliott announced that he wished his contract cancelled to be able to concentrate on his faith, with a view to perhaps entering ministry.
Return to Glentoran Elliott returned to former club
Glentoran in September 2012. He made his first appearance since returning to the club on 1 October, coming off the bench as Glentoran lost 3–2 to
Linfield in the
County Antrim Shield. He made his first league appearance on 6 October, coming off the bench as Glentoran lost 2–0 to
Crusaders. He scored his first (and indeed only) goal since his return to Glentoran in an
IRN-BRU League Cup game against
Institute. The goal was described as an "unstoppable 20 yard shot". Glentoran went on to win the game 4–2 on penalties after a 2–2 draw. After making only seven appearances and scoring one goal in all competitions, Elliott was released by Glentoran after the turn of the year. ==International career==
