Apart from the 2022/23 season, when yes Elliot was the regular starting RB under Talay (Payne at CB), Elliot was in & out of the Nix first 11.
21 starts 22/23
12 starts all seasons prior
And of course either time he's gone overseas (Greece & Scotland) it's been zero mins total.

There has been no announcement yet on Callan. Who knows if AFC sign Sakai, Elliot may want to look elsewhere. Though Sakai has only played 9 (6 starts) of 17 J League games this season to date for Urawa Reds. And at 34, he maybe getting a little injury prone.
