A year ago he was running around in the magoo's a million miles away from home with a court appearance hanging over his head.....and thinking his football career may be hanging by a thread.

Fast forward 12 months and he's back home playing senior football in front of 80,000+ adoring fans for the greatest club in the land pushing for a premiership....and lands himself another 2 year contract.

Bloody awesome :thumbsu::cool::thumbsu:

My suspicion is that our recruiters "accidently" lost his wallet at the casino to get a great deal.

Also the same with Charlie's breathalyser.

You gotta think outside the box as a recruiter these days.

Whatever it takes?
 
Awesome news!

Elijah has been a very import addition to our side, providing much needed silk and finishing skills, particularly mid/fwd, in light of Cuners & Martin not being available.

Has already become a VIP.
Well done 'Lij

Elijah is the real version of what we hoped cunners would be, but fit.
Slick, smooth, calm and just a rolls Royce to match our monster trucks.
Seriously impressed by the kid and love that he has earnt everything at this club from scratch.
Well done. Look forward to he and Ollie sharing multiple premiership successes.
 
Fantastic news but only two years ?

I can see the sense in 2, rather than a longer deal.
Our original offer was 3 years. Then the indiscretion meant we gave him just the year to prove himself, which he's done, so we've basically given him the original deal back.
Also keeps any chance of complacency at bay, which I don't mind.

Elijah has a bit of Pendles about him. Elite kicking off both sides, clean with ball in hand, calm under pressure and always seems to have time. Great addition to the team.

They way the media was worded it seems like he's now fulfilling his original contract offer. Possibly we slightly modified the original one to be a 1 year with trigger and behaviourial clauses to execute the final 2 years.

I reckon they always intended to keep to the original contract. With the one year deal, something like a probationary period.

"Get through and we'll honour the original contract".

Or something along those lines. Could be totally off the mark though.
