Formerly of Rastrick but now living at Sowerby, Elliot (right) has been to Holland with Manchester United's Youth team in the close season and also been coached, trained and played a game or two with Everton's youth teams.
However, he has opted to stay with the club he has been with since the age of seven and the Leeds club is said, to be delighted.
Chairman Ken Bates has personally thanked his mother Maggie and Elliot is said, to be delighted that he is staying at Thorp Arch, Wetherby to continue with United.
United have just been awarded compensation of £600,000 for a 16-year-old who has gone from them to Everton and Manchester City have offered £70,00 for a couple of Elliott's teammates but Leeds have turned that down and want to take them to a tribunal for a lot more.
In the meantime he is waiting to hear next week if he has made the cull from the England under-16 train-on squad of 40 at Lilleshall down to 20 but has been asked to attend hospital for a cardiac test this very evening, which sounds very promising to me.
He has also hit the catwalk as a guest for the Louise Morton modelling agency showing the latest line in Vivienne Westwood clothes. He had a dress rehearsal on Monday evening, is back on Sunday for more and then the real thing at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainley Top, next Tuesday, September 22.
He wasn't too keen on going but when he had strut his stuff he was told he was a natural and actually enjoyed it, according to his rightfully proud mother.
We shall no doubt over the next year or two be hearing a lot more of this lad as he carves out a career in professional football that many can only dream about.

HAD a quick chat with Brighouse ladies hairdresser Renny Taylor on his arrival back from Bonnie Scotland where he captained the England clay pigeon shooting team in the Home Nations Championship last weekend.

England came third behind winners Ireland and second-placed Wales.
"It was a lot harder than I appreciated it would be leading from the front with 19 more colleagues to keep in touch with," said Renny.
"I didn't shoot as well as I can do but at least I didn't fluff my lines when it came to the post shoot dinner.
"The weather was great, the hospitality and the whole event just great, but I would have liked to have come back being the captain of the winning team, but it was not to be."

THREE Bradford Bulls players ended up with bandaged heads following last Friday evening's televised away game at Hull, with England prop Sam Burgess the worst affected. On hand to do the stitching on the spot so he can get them back on the field as quick as possible was Rastrick-based dentist Chris Anderson.

Despite normally putting micro-stitching in people's mouths at his Top o' the town surgery, Chris, the Bulls's dentist, can turn his hand to anything on the human body and he is helped when it is a busy old match by the club doctor Roger Brown.
Talking of Burgess – he is in great demand in Australia with one of his biggest admirers being film icon Russell Crowe who is joint owner of South Sydney.
It is going to be interesting to see if they or another club down under come up with the cash to buy out the final year on his Bulls contract and take him on board for 2010.
The play-off stage with a new format for the top eight clubs-not six this time around- comes to the engage Super League this weekend with all four matches televised on Sky Sports.
There is a game Friday evening between Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR, two on Saturday evening, with local club Huddersfield Giants at St Helens come 6pm and two hours later Wakefield Wildcats take on the Catalans and at 7pm on the Sunday Wigan Warriors entertain Castleford Tigers. So, if you want to sneak out to the club or pub to watch these then start sucking up to the wife now and put a temporary smile on her face.
