Career
Club
Elliot Kebbie is the son of the former rugby league and rugby union footballer, and rugby union coach Brimah Kebbie,[1] Kebbie joined Leeds United from Brighouse Juniors at the age of seven, remaining in the club's youth system for nine years.
After spending two months on trial with Barcelona in 2011, Kebbie eventually signed for Atlético Madrid in January 2012 for a fee of up to £500,000.[1] Kebbie went on loan to Rangers in August 2012,[2] before being forced to return to his home town permanently after being struck down by the Epstein–Barr virus.[3]
On 23 January 2014, Kebbie signed a short-term contract with Premier League side Hull City,[4] to aid his rehabilitation before then going on trial with Doncaster Rovers in July 2014.[5] He joined Brighouse Town in October 2014.[6]
In July 2015, Kebbie had overcome a post viral fatigue syndrome and joined Salford City, before signing briefly for Bradford Park Avenue,[7] and then immediately a six-month contract with Barnsley's development squad on 12 July 2016.[8] In November 2016 Kebbie went on trial with Birmingham City[9] but decided upon regular first team football at Sandefjord in Norway.
Sandefjord
In January 2017, Kebbie joined Sandefjord on trial,[10] eventually signing for the club and making his debut for Sandefjord on 5 April 2017, in a 3–0 defeat to Rosenborg.[11]
Billericay Town
In August 2017 Kebbie returned to England to sign for Billericay Town.[12] After a few weeks with Billericay Town it was alleged that club owner Glenn Tamplin wanted to reduce his wages and even offered him a payoff before also sending 'Gangster Threats' to Kebbie.[13] He left the club in February 2018.
