Playing career

Born in Scunthorpe, Ellender joined Scunthorpe United as a YTS trainee, and went on to sign professional forms, but was released at the end of the 1993–94 season without having made a first-team appearance. He joined Northern Premier League club Gainsborough Trinity,[3] where he became captain, and led the club out in their 1997–98 FA Cup first-round tie against Lincoln City. After a 1–1 draw at Lincoln's ground, Sincil Bank, Gainsborough went out 3–2 in the replay, also played at Lincoln.[4]

Together with centre-back partner Chris Timons, Ellender joined Altrincham in 1998,[3] and helped the club win the Northern Premier League title and gain promotion to the Conference.

He was loaned to Chester City in February 2006 for the remainder of the season,[6] but was recalled a month later because of injuries among Boston defenders.[7]

After seven years with Boston, during which time he played 275 games in all competitions, and, according to the club's website, "endeared himself to the club's supporters with a never-say-die attitude", he moved on to Alfreton Town,[8][9] but re-signed for Boston United on loan in March 2009.[10] At the end of the season, neither Boston nor Alfreton offered him a contract,[citation needed] and he joined Retford United for the 2009–10 season.[11] He joined North Ferriby United during the summer of 2010.[12]
