Lightning quick left sided Northern Ireland international striker who was Hull City's record signing for a time - £230,000 secured his services from Motherwell, and he made an immediate impact with a goal on his debut. After a period of absence with injury Elliott took time to re-establish his first team place, but late in 2002-3 he started hitting the net regularly with shots and headers and became an integral part of the Tigers' goal threat. In 2004-5 Elliott's goals fired City to second place in League One and the Championship, scoring 29 goals in league and cup, a remarkable haul for a winger. Subsequently Elliott fought asthmatic and viral problems and remained a useful fringe player that could be relied upon to change - if not dominate - a game on occasions.
In January 2008, with his City contract expiring in the Summer and first team chances few and far between, Stuart joined Doncaster Rovers initially on loan with a two year contract to follow. Just reward for a true Tigers promotion hero. His time at Doncaster was not fruitful and in January 2010 he headed north to join SPL side Hamilton Academicals.
