Ruari Ellis, a Scottish born talent, made his mark on the football world on 29 August 2006. Currently at the tender age of 19, he solidifies the defence of Kilmarnock as a central defender. With a commanding presence on the field, Ellis stands at 5feet 10inches (1.8m) and weighs in at a solid 11st 4lb (72kg). He proudly wears the number 32 jersey, marking his position within the team.
Ellis’ career didn’t always begin at Kilmarnock. It was in July 2023, amidst a flurry of football transfer activity, that he found himself pulled towards the Premiership team. A noteworthy addition to their roster, his burgeoning skills shown promise for the club’s defensive tactics.
Yet within a year, the allure of the football pitch saw Ellis temporarily transferred from Kilmarnock in November 2024. Finding himself on loan to Scotland’s Junior Team, Broxburn Athletic, this move allowed Ellis to flex his defensive capabilities in a new context. Despite being a junior team, the experience with Broxburn Athletic offered a fruitful environment for Ellis to refine his craft.
June 2025 saw the culmination of Ellis’ loan period with Broxburn Athletic. Now back in the fold of Kilmarnock’s squad, he returned again to the Premiership pitch, bringing with him plush experiences and an evolved playing style courtesy of his stint with the junior team. With Ellis once more reinforcing the defence, Kilmarnock continued their stride in the Scottish football scene. Elllis' journey serves as a testament to his commitment, resilience and adaptability in the ever-evolving world of football.
