James Ellison (4 February 1906 – 1986) was an English professional footballer who played as a full-back for various clubs, including Southampton and Rochdale, in the 1920s.[1]

Football career

Ellison was born in Manchester and played his early football as an amateur with St Helens Town, Tranmere Rovers, Rotherham United and Rhyl Athletic before he moved to the south coast to join Southampton in May 1927.[2]

After a satisfactory trial period, Ellison signed a professional contract in October 1927.[2] He spent most of his time with the Saints in the reserves, making 59 appearances in his year at The Dell.[2] His only first-team appearance came on 10 March 1928, when he took the place of Arthur Bradford at right-back for the game against Port Vale; the match was lost 2–1.[3]

In the summer of 1928, Ellison returned to Lancashire to join Rochdale for whom he made 16 appearances in the Football League Third Division North,[1] before winding up his career back in Wales with Connah's Quay.[2]
