Playing career

[edit]

In December 2013, Elsey joined Hong Kong First Division club Kitchee on loan,[1] however he was recalled early and subsequently did not make a senior appearance.[2]

In January 2014, Elsey scored his debut goal for Adelaide United in stoppage time of a match against league leaders Brisbane Roar, giving Adelaide United a surprising 2–1 victory.[3]

On 4 November 2014 Adelaide United confirmed that Jordan had ruptured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament.[4] He made his return to action on 7 November 2015 playing for the Adelaide United Youth side and a return to the senior team later in the season.

In July 2021, Elsey departed Adelaide United at the end of his contract.[5]

On 8 July 2021, Jordan Elsey was announced as a signing by the Newcastle Jets for the upcoming 2021/22 season to play under new manager Arthur Papas.

In January 2023, Elsey departed the Newcastle Jets.[6] Perth Glory confirmed his signing shortly thereafter.[7]
