Wade Patrick Elliott (born 14 December 1978 in Southampton)[1] is an English professional footballer who plays for Birmingham City. He plays mainly as a right midfielder but can play as a central midfielder. He began playing football as a youth player for Southampton before joining non-league Bashley. He began his professional career at A.F.C. Bournemouth after joining from Bashley for £5,000. After five years he joined Burnley where he won two player of the year awards and scored the only goal in the 2009 play-off final elevating his team to the Premier League.

[edit] Playing career

[edit] Youth and Non-League

Elliott began playing football as a youth player at Southampton where he also represented England schoolboys.[1] He was released from the Southampton youth setup when he was 16 and instead went on to do his A-levels.[2] He carried on playing football at non-League Bashley while studying at University and was spotted by former A.F.C. Bournemouth player Jimmy Case who organised a trial match for him at the League One club. He trained with Bournemouth from Christmas 1998[3] and signed for a fee of £5,000 in February 2000.[4]

[edit] Bournemouth

Elliott scored three goals in the twelve games he played in his first season with Bournemouth. In the following seasons he began to have more and more of an impact, winning the club's Player of the Year award in his first full season.[1] He was out of contract at the end of the 2003–04 season and eventually signed a one-year contract extension.[5] In his last season at the club he played 51 games and scored 5 goals. With his and teammate Garreth O'Connor's contracts due to expire, the pair signed three-year contracts with Burnley, a team which he had impressed in an FA Cup-tie that season.[6]

[edit] Burnley

Elliott's first season at Burnley got off to a slow start; he made just 23 starts for the club and scored 3 goals.[1] However in his next two seasons he became one of the club's most influential players, winning Player of the Year awards for two consecutive seasons.[citation needed] In the 2007–08 season, he committed his future to the club by signing a three-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2011 season.[7] In the following season he was instrumental in Burnley's promotion to the Premier League and capped off the season by scoring the only goal in the play-off final. The 25-yard (23 m) curling shot captured much media attention with multiple references to him scoring the goal that had the potential to earn Burnley up to £60 million in the Premier League.[2][8] Elliott began his first Premier League season by scoring the only goal in the home win against Everton, again leading Elliott to grab headlines.[9] On his 200th League appearance for Burnley, he scored the final goal in a 4–1 defeat of Hull City from a in-swinging free kick on the far left at the KC Stadium.[citation needed]

[edit] Birmingham City

Elliot joined Championship club Birmingham City on 31 August 2011, the last day of the summer transfer window. He signed a two-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[10] He made his Birmingham debut as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 home victory against Millwall.[11] He scored his first goal for Birmingham against NK Maribor in the Europa League on 29 September 2011.[12]
