About the player
Callum Elder left Sydney for Leicester City's academy at 16, having come through Manly United and Mosman FC. He signed his first professional contract in 2013.
He made 21 appearances for Mansfield Town in 2015 and 18 league appearances, with one goal, for Peterborough United. Brentford and Barnsley used him six and five times respectively. Wigan Athletic gave him his first real run: 27 league games in 2017–18, a season that ended with the League One title. Ipswich Town took him on loan in 2019 for four appearances.
That August he joined Hull City for a reported £1.5 million. In 2020–21 Hull won League One, and Elder was named in both the PFA and the EFL League One Teams of the Year.
He moved to Derby County on a free transfer in June 2023 and played 79 league games, again scoring once. Derby finished second in League One in 2023–24 and were promoted to the Championship.
Elder's international debut came on 2 September 2021, when Australia beat China 3–0 in a World Cup qualifier. He had won three caps for the Socceroos as of November 2025.
In June 2026 he signed for Lincoln City on a free transfer.
