At 31, Elding has had a varied career before becoming a Sligo favourite. A former Nottingham Forest Academy player, Elding’s first pro club was his home town side Boston United. From there he went to Stevenage Borough and from 2003 to 2006, Elding scored 50 goals for them.
The highest he made it up the football ladder in England was when he joined Leeds in 2008, but his stay at Elland Road was brief. The most interesting stop on his football journey to date is the one at Ferencvaros in Hungary in 2010, where he bagged eight in 15 games before heading to Grimsby.
Elding almost joined Preston in the January window but Grimsby failed to agree a deal, opening the way for Sligo to step in.
That move has definitely worked out for both sides and a Cup win at Aviva Stadium would be the icing on the cake.Explore more on these topics:
