Elliott has already had a season in Greece (where he sat on the pine the whole time), after Poppa took him to Xanthi. Gut feel is he won't re-sign for the Nix, if a SPL club offers him a deal.
He'll be 24 in July, his mate Waine has gone north, I reckon he'll be keen to go now as well. You will also have more suitors when you are coming off contract, than on. The SPL is full of ex ALM Aussies, doing well.
Elliott's mentor Paul Ifill will also have a few lower league UK contacts that might be handy for him.

After that Xanthi experience, hopefully he bases his decision on where he will play the most.
He will be older & wiser after the Xanthi frustrating experience. But if he was prepared to make the leap to Greece, after only 9 ALM games, heading to the land of his birth (if it is the SPL) 2 full ALM seasons later, shouldn't phase him too much.
He's in form, and who knows an offer from the UK may not be around next season. Maybe like Waine, Cacace & Rojas - is a big draw to play in his parent's homeland.
And lastly all of his 10 team mates that started the 2019, U20 WC QF against Colombia are now playing abroad. Woud, Pijnaker, Stanger, Stensness, Cacace, Bell, Singh, McCowatt, Just & Waine. Plus bench players Mata & Wilkins. Apart from Woud, abroad is Europe. Elliott can't help but be aware of that little bit of trivia now. Last man left, turn out the lights!
