[edit] Club career
Elrich's previous clubs include Parramatta Eagles in the NSW Premier Youth League, the Australian Institute of Sport and Sydney Olympic in the NSW Premier League.
[edit] Newcastle United Jets FC
He has been with the Newcastle Jets since the inception of the A-League in 2005-06 but only played in a handful of games in the first two seasons. His first full season of the A-League was in 2007-08, but was by far more impressive in the 2008-09 season, earning him a call-up from Pim Verbeek in the squad for an Asian Cup Qualifier in January 2009.[1]
