Career

Ellis turned professional at Carlisle United in January 2022, having already captained the under-18 team.[2] Manager Keith Millen said that Ellis found youth football "too easy" as he had "developed very quickly in the last four months".[3] He made EFL League Two debut for the club on 30 April 2022, in a 2–1 win over Stevenage at Brunton Park, in what was Carlisle's last home game of the 2021–22 season.[4] Speaking in October 2022, new manager Paul Simpson said that Ellis had asked about leaving the club on loan, but had applied himself in training and performed well upon being returned to the starting eleven.[5]

Style of play

Carlisle United manager said that Ellis is a player who provided "balance with his left foot, a desire to close people down [and] competed for headers".[6]
