Jordan Elsey (born 2 March 1994) is an Australian professional soccer player who operates as a centre back for the A-League side Adelaide United.
Playing career
Elsey was loaned to Hong Kong First Division outfit Kitchee in December 2013; however, he was recalled prematurely without featuring in any senior matches.
In January 2014, he netted his first goal for Adelaide United during stoppage time against the then league leaders Brisbane Roar, securing a 2–1 win for his team.
On 4 November 2014, it was announced by Adelaide United that Elsey had suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament. He made his comeback with the Adelaide United Youth squad in November 2015 before returning to the senior team later that season.
Elsey departed from Adelaide United in July 2021 after accumulating 124 league appearances and scoring four goals, playing a key role in the club’s 2016 league title and their Australian Cup triumphs in 2018 and 2019.
On 8 July 2021, he joined Newcastle Jets for the 2021/22 campaign under head coach Arthur Papas, making 34 league appearances before leaving the club in January 2023.
Shortly thereafter, Elsey signed with Perth Glory, where he featured in ten league matches and scored once. He subsequently departed to explore opportunities in India. In August 2023, he secured a two-year contract with East Bengal but exited the club in 2024 without playing any league games due to injury.
In 2024, Elsey re-signed with Adelaide United on a one-year contract. He returned to action nearly four years later, coming on as a substitute during a 3-0 defeat to Western United on 23 February 2025. On 1 March 2025, he scored his fifth league goal for Adelaide in a thrilling 4-4 draw against Auckland FC.
