[edit]

Liverpool

[edit]

Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Ellison began his career at his local team, Liverpool, joining the youth academy at the age of 8.[2] Ellison signed a professional contract with his hometown club in 2009,[2] however he negotiated his release in a search for regular first team football at the end of the 2009–10 season; he failed to make an appearance during his time with the club.

Burton Albion

[edit]

Seeking regular first-team football, Ellison left Liverpool by mutual agreement in July 2010, to join Burton Albion of League Two on a 2-year contract.[3]

Ellison made his debut for Burton on 11 August 2010 in the League Cup, in their 4–1 away defeat to Cardiff City.[4][5] He made his Football League debut on 4 September 2010 in a 3–0 win over Hereford United.[6]

On 3 October 2010, Ellison was stabbed in the back during a night out in Liverpool. He was treated in hospital and went on to make a full recovery.[7][8]

Stafford Rangers (loan)

[edit]

On 26 November 2010, Ellison joined Stafford Rangers on loan, along with fellow Burton Albion player Garyn Preen.[9] He made his debut for the club on 11 December 2010 in a 2–0 home defeat to Workington.[10]

Hednesford Town (loan)

Alfreton Town (loan)

[edit]

In August 2011, at the beginning of the 2011–12 season, Ellison joined Alfreton Town on a one-month loan, scoring the winning goal with a last minute header to give Alfreton their first home win in the Conference Premier, a 2–1 victory over Barrow.[13] This was Ellison's first ever senior goal; he went on to make a further seven appearances for the club, but was unable to score again before returning to Burton.

Chester (loan)

[edit]

In November 2011, having returned from his loan spell at Alfreton, Ellison went on a further loan, to Chester, for one month.[14] He was released from his contract at Burton upon his return from Chester.[15]

On 24 December 2011, he signed for Conference North side Hyde.[16] He made his debut for the club on 26 December, in a 1–1 draw with Stalybridge Celtic.[17]

Ellison made his first start for the club in the return fixture at Bower Fold on New Year's Day; Hyde manager Gary Lowe said of Ellison, "He did well for us on his first start and he is a player with a bright future".[18]

Southport

Colwyn Bay

[edit]

Ellison left Droylsden midway through the 2012–13 season, and joined Colwyn Bay; five goals in his first eight matches for the club proved vital in their ultimately successful attempt to escape relegation, the club winning the last six games of their league season to remain in the Conference North.
