BIOGRAPHY
Jack Elliott was born August 25, 1995, in London, England. He is a defender in Major League Soccer.
On January 17, 2017, Elliott was drafted in the fourth round (77th overall) of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft by the Philadelphia Union. He signed with Philadelphia on February 24, 2017. Elliot made his professional debut for the Union on April 1, as a substitute for Richie Marquez against D.C. United. Elliot became a regular starter for the Union through the rest of the season earning 30 appearances; 29 as a starter. He scored his first professional goal against San Jose Earthquakes, the first equalizer of an ultimate 2–2 away draw. Elliot's first season contributions earned him a nomination for the 2017 MLS Rookie of the Year award but ultimately finished third in the running behind Abu Danladi and winner Julian Gressel.
During his first two seasons with the Union, Elliot earned two starts with Bethlehem Steel FC, the Union's second division team. Elliot scored his first brace for the Union during the 2018 season in a 3–2 win over the New England Revolution. During the 2019 season, Elliot developed a steady partnership next to the rotation of Union homegrown centerbacks Auston Trusty and Mark McKenzie, starting every match in the season. In May 2019, he was awarded a new contract with the Union through 2021 with an option for 2022. During the Union's opening playoff match of the 2019 season, he scored the second goal in a 4–3 comeback victory against New York Red Bulls, the first playoff win in club history.
