All the Best Elliott

Elliott joined Airbus Academy when he started his journey at Under 8s. He progressed through all age groups within the Academy Set-up. He reached the FAW Futsal Final in his time with the Academy.

Elliott expressed his feelings on leaving the Wingmakers, “Unfortunately my 12 years being at Airbus has come to an end. I’ve loved every minute being at the club and it’s made me who I am today.

Thank you to everyone at Airbus and I wish the best of luck to everyone for the future”

In 2021, Elliott made his first start for the First Team in the Nathaniel MG Cup against Guilsfield, which Airbus went on to win on penalties.

On the 24th July 2021, Elliott made his League debut against Holyhead Hotspur and he went on to be an integral part of the 2021/22 Season with Airbus being crowned Champions of the JD Cymru North. He gained valued experience in Season 2022/23 in the Welsh Premier with 10 appearances.

Last Season, Elliott seen his playing time limited, but he did make 11 JD Cymru North appearances, where he was awarded Man of the Match performances against Guilsfield and Chirk away. His performance also saw him rewarded with two inclusions in the JD Cymru League Team of the Week.

Mark Allen wished Elliot the best of luck, “Elliott has been excellent for Airbus since his breakthrough from the Academy.

He hasn’t had the sufficient minutes this season and needs them to continue his development as a player, which we both want.

Everyone wishes Elliott the very best as he progresses. He is a fantastic lad with a great attitude and a top player”

We would like to wish Elliott all the best for the future and good luck in his next footballing venture!!
