After being released by Darlington, Ellis became manager of Guiseley,[15][16][17] where local media described his impact as a "revolution", with he club being "revitalsised",[18][19] after he made 7 new signings.[20] Ellis said he was "buzzing",[21] but left the club in November 2022 after a run of poor form.[22][23][24][25][26]
