Elliott Lloyd Nevitt (born 30 October 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays for League Two side Crewe Alexandra as a striker. ^[3] He will sign for Gillingham upon the expiration of his contract at Crewe.

Career

Non-league and Sunday league

Nevitt spent five years in non-league football, before which he attended college. ^[4] He played non-league football for Everton Xaverians, ^[5] Burscough, City of Liverpool (two spells), AFC Liverpool, Bootle and Waterloo Dock. ^[6] He joined Warrington Rylands 1906 in October 2020 from City of Liverpool, ^[7] and scored a hat-trick for the club in the 2021 FA Vase Final at Wembley Stadium. ^[8]

In addition to playing semi-professional non-league football, he regularly played Sunday league football and has twice appeared in the final of the country's premier Sunday cup competition, the FA Sunday Cup for Campfield FC, a Liverpool club. In the 2014–15 final played at Ewood Park, he appeared as a second-half substitute as the club beat OJM. ^[9] He also appeared in the final of the 2019–20 competition, delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ^[10] where he scored the winning goal at St James' Park in extra time as the club beat Luton-based St Joseph's. ^[11]

Tranmere Rovers

Nevitt turned professional by signing a one-year contract with League Two club Tranmere Rovers in July 2021. ^{[12] [13] [14]}

He made his professional debut on 10 August, scoring the second goal in a 2–2 draw with Oldham Athletic in the first round of the EFL Cup. ^{[15] [16]} In October 2022, he scored three goals in two games for Tranmere against Crewe Alexandra: on 14 October, he came off the bench and scored two second-half goals in Rovers' 3–0 league win at Prenton Park; ^[17] on 18 October he scored the only goal in Rovers' 1–0 EFL Trophy win at Gresty Road. ^[18] In November, he signed a contract extension with Tranmere until 2023. ^[19]

Crewe Alexandra

Having impressed Crewe manager Lee Bell in his performances against the club, Nevitt signed for Crewe for an undisclosed fee on 11 January 2023. ^{[20] [21]} He made his debut in a 1–1 draw at Mansfield Town on 14 January 2023, ^[22] but failed to score in the 21 games of his first season. ^[23] Finally, after 26 appearances, he scored his first Crewe goal in a 4–2 victory against Newport County at Gresty Road on 15 August 2023, ^{[24] [25]} and went on to become Crewe's top scorer, with 18 goals in 48 games (his 16 league goals included four in the 90th minute or later), during the regular 2023–24 season, ^[25] helping the club reach the League Two play-off final. ^{[26] [27]} Before his second Wembley final (which Crewe lost), ^[28] Nevitt highlighted the importance of Crewe's fans: "Last year was tough and the fans stuck with me. This year, just to repay them with 18 goals is massive. Some of the last-minute winners and equalisers are probably some of my favourite times." ^[25]

Gillingham

Nevitt was offered a new contract at Crewe but rejected it and will instead be joining Gillingham when his current contract expires. ^{[29] [30]} .
