Career

West Bromwich Albion

Elvins was born in Alvechurch, Worcestershire and progressed through the youth system at West Bromwich Albion. He played a number of times for the reserve team and won the club's Young Player of the Year award for the 2004–05 season. [3] He failed to make a single appearance for the first team, however; he was an unused substitute in a third round FA Cup replay at Reading in January 2006. [4] Elvins was loaned out to League One team Cheltenham Town for a month on 8 September 2006. [5] On 31 January 2007, Elvins joined Conference National team York City on a month's loan. [6] His loan at York was extended for a second month on 6 March 2007. [7]

Aldershot Town

Elvins was signed by Aldershot Town on 27 June 2007 after being released by West Brom at the end of the 2006–07 season. [4] [8] He made his debut in a 2–1 victory over Kidderminster Harriers and played in 40 games and scored seven goals for the side as they won the Conference Premier in the 2007–08 season. [9] [10] He was loaned out to Woking for the remainder of the 2008–09 season on 10 February 2009. [11] He made his debut in a 1–0 defeat to Kettering Town on 14 February. [12] He scored the equalising goal for Woking in a 1–1 draw against Wrexham on 14 March. [13] He returned to Aldershot from his loan spell early on 7 April. [14] Aldershot manager Gary Waddock confirmed Elvins would be released by Aldershot at the end of the season. [15]

Worcester City

Following his release by Aldershot, Elvins had trials with Rushden & Diamonds and Kidderminster Harriers, [16] [17] and received offers from two other clubs before deciding to sign for Conference South team Worcester City on 24 July. [18]

On 16 May 2013, Elvins and teammate Mathew Birley left Worcester for Conference North club Solihull Moors. [19]
