Elrington joined the London Irish academy following his graduation from Loughborough University for the 2015–16 season. He had a loan spell with Rosslyn Park in the National League 1 competition for development.[1] He made his debut in the RFU Championship match with a 36–12 victory over Richmond.[2]

On 7 April 2017, Elrington signed his first professional contract with London Irish, thus promoted to the senior squad from the 2017–18 season.[3] After six seasons playing at Brentford Community Stadium, he departed London Irish to sign for Premiership rivals Gloucester from the 2021–22 season.[4]

Elrington was called up to the England squad on 15 November 2021 as cover for their game against South Africa as part of the 2021 Autumn Nations Series.[5]
