Christie Elliott (born 26 May 1991) is an English footballer who plays for Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership. Having previously played for English lower league sides Jarrow and Whitley Bay, Elliott signed a two-year deal with then Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle. He was loaned in 2012 to Scottish Second Division side Albion Rovers before returning to Firhill in January 2013. Originally he was signed as a striker, but Elliott has proven a very flexible player, featuring in numerous positions for the Jags over the years. He is now settled in his role in defence, playing the majority of games at right-back, providing the occasional cover at left-back or on the wing.

Career

Born in Newcastle, Elliott began his career at local lower league club Jarrow before moving to Whitley Bay.

Partick Thistle

On 19 August 2011, Partick Thistle manager Jackie McNamara signed the 20-year-old on a two-year deal.[1] The following day he scored a goal within 5 minutes of his debut during a 1–1 draw with Hamilton Academical on 20 August 2011.[2] During the 2012–13 season, Elliott scored two goals, one against Hamilton, and the other, a ninetieth-minute winner against Airdrie United, after Conrad Balatoni had equalised for Thistle in the 89th minute, as Thistle won 2–1 to close in on the First Division title.[3]

After Thistle had won promotion to the Scottish Premiership, on 28 May 2013, Elliott agreed a new deal with the club.[4] In the 2013–14 season Elliott scored his first Scottish premiership goal in a 5–1 defeat to Celtic.[5] In the 2014/15 season Elliot scored a goal in the 3–3 draw with Hamilton making 3–2 thistle after coming back from 2–0 down[6] Elliott scored his second goal of the season in a 1–0 away win against St Mirren scoring the winner in the 75th min.[7]

On 14 May 2015, Elliot signed a new two-year contract extension with the Jags, which will keep him at Firhill until the end of the 2016–17 football season.[8] And further extended his contract until 2019. On the 29/7/17 Elliott scored his first goal in 2 seasons in a league cup game against Stranraer, scoring a 87th-minute winner in a 1-0 home win.[9]

Albion Rovers loan

On 22 November 2012, Elliott joined Scottish Second Division side Albion Rovers on loan for one month[10] The loan was then extended until 19 January 2013.[11]
