Elijah Just

Elijah Just of Motherwell was born in Palmerston North, New Zealand on 1 May 2000 (age 25).

Elijah Just, born the 1st of May 2000 and now in his mid-20s, hails from New Zealand. He is a footballer with a propensity for playing as a right winger and is currently in the employ of Motherwell. His height clocks in at 5ft 8in (1.74m) and he tips the scales at 10st 12lb (69kg). As part of his kit, he sports the number 21 jersey. Despite being located half a world away, Just has nonetheless had the honour of representing his home country, New Zealand, on the football pitch.

As of present, the player's market worth is in the ballpark area of £380k, a detail noted by Transfermarkt.

The path of Just's career has spanned various countries and clubs. In July 2019, he made a significant move from Eastern Suburbs in the Women's Teams of New Zealand to join the Danish 2. division squad, FC Helsingør. Another leap forward took place in August 2022, as Just was passed along to AC Horsens in the 1. division of Denmark, with the specifics of the transaction remaining undisclosed. His first season with AC Horsens saw him contributing to 27 league matches.

A year later, in August 2024, he found himself ushered onto Austrian soil to play for St. Polten in the 2. Liga, this time on loan. This stint turned out to be productive, as Just managed to deliver six goals throughout 19 appearances in season 2024 - 2025.

However, by July 2025, he was on the move again, this time finalising a transfer to Motherwell, a stalwart of the Scottish Premiership. The details of this transfer, again, were kept under wraps. As of the current season 2025 - 2026, Just has logged 24 appearances for Motherwell, notchIng six goals in the process. He also contributed to Motherwell's 2025 - 2026 League Cup run with five starts and one appearance coming off the bench, and was similarly involved in Motherwell's Scottish Cup campaign that year with one start and one substitution. Additionally, he was instrumental in New Zealand's World Cup Qualifiers for the Oceania region between 2024 - 2026, scoring an impressive four goals from a single start.
