A former England schoolboy international Wade Elliot took the unconventional route into League football. 20 year old Wade was spotted playing for non-league Bashley by Former Anfield great Jimmy Case. He was subsequently offered a trial by the South Coast club .Where he signed his first Professional contract in February 2000, and he hasn't looked back since.

Wade won Bornemouth's Player of the season for five consecutive years before his move up north, his first season under Steve Cotterill at Burnley was not as successful as we all would have wished . With only 23 starts and a return of 3 goals did not endure him to the Clarets fans. But his following season(2006/07) he was an almost ever present with 40 league games under his belt scoring 4 goalsin the process .He also won Burnley's Player of the season, and more importantly started showing signs of what a good player he is.

The start of 2007-08 Wade now in his last year of his contract. Played a part in every league game of the season under both Steve Cotterill and Owen Coyle .By the end of the season he walked away with the Player of the season for the second successive year and the goal of the season for his strike against Charlton . 

Burnley's new manager had the Clarets fans smiling with the news that in March 2008 Wade Elliott had put pen to paper to a new three year contract .
