The Nix did offer Elliot a contract, but he delayed signing it as he wanted a gig overseas. The club lost patience as they wanted to plan for the following season, so withdrew the offer. No overseas gig materialised for young Callan, and he found himself without a club for 6 mths or so, before his fizzer of a time at Motherwell
Seemed that the Nix partly made an example of him, as a warning to other young players and their agents they won’t be strung along forever with negotiations. Fair enough
In Elliot’s defence at the time he was the only one of Des’s 2019 U20 starting 11 not playing overseas. So I reckon that played into his mind. Now of course he has Pijnaker with him in NZ
