[16] [17] After the premature conclusion of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dundee triggered the extension clause in Elliott's contract, keeping him at the club for the following year. [18]

In January 2021, Dundee announced Elliott had triggered an appearance clause in his contract, triggering a further one-year extension and keeping him at the club until 2022. [19] He would be a part of the team which would win the Premiership play-offs and help Dundee gain promotion to the Scottish Premiership. [20] In March 2022, Elliott would finally score his first league goal for Dundee in a league game against Rangers. [21] Elliott would leave Dundee following the end of his contract in May 2022. [22]
