Jordan Elsey

A promising young defender, Jordan Elsey offers height and composure to the United defence. He has made over 110 appearances for the first team, and has developed into one of the most reliable defenders in the league. Plagued by two serious knee injuries earlier in his career, Elsey’s determination and resilience to come back fitter and stronger has been a sight to behold. That desire has paid dividends as the centre-back has been an unflappable presence in the heart of defence, nailing a starting berth since his return. His calmness in possession and an aptness in anticipating situations before they develop are two of Elsey’s biggest strengths.
