Elliot began his career with Erith Town, before joining Charlton Athletic's academy side.
He would then go on to be Charlton's first choice goalkeeper for a number of seasons, until he joined Newcastle United on transfer deadline day in the summer of 2011.
Signed mainly as a back-up to Tim Krul, he featured for the club sporadically, but became first choice in the 2015-16 season after Krul suffered a season-ending injury.
Through the origins of his father's family, Elliot became eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland national football team, and was first called up in 2013, making his debut the following year.
In June 2020 Elliot was released by Newcastle United after nine years.
In January 2021, Elliot signed for Watford until the end of the 2020-21 season.
In June 2021, Elliot signed a new 2-year contract with Watford.
Born in Greenwich, London, Elliot began his career with non-League side Erith Town before moving to Charlton Athletic, the team he had supported as a child, when he was 17.
After becoming a professional player with the Addicks in 2004, he was sent out on loan twice during the 2004-05 season; first to Bishop's Stortford and then Notts County, where he made his Football League debut.
The following season, Elliot spent most of the season on loan at the Conference National club Accrington Stanley, replacing fellow Charlton goalkeeper Darren Randolph who had been on loan at Stanley earlier in the year.
He joined Stanley again on loan during the 2006-07 season, but failed to displace Ian Dunbavin as the club's first choice goalkeeper.
Back at Charlton, Elliot was considered to be behind Nicky Weaver and Darren Randolph for most of the 2007-08 season.
After Randolph moved to Bury on loan Elliot was promoted to second choice.
He made his first start for Charlton in a League Cup defeat to Yeovil Town in August 2008.
During the 2008-09 season, he displaced Weaver and established himself as the club's first choice goalkeeper.
On 30 August 2011, Elliot signed for Newcastle United on a five-year contract, becoming their seventh summer signing.
He then stated his desire to become first choice 'keeper.
At the start of the 2012-13 season, Elliot changed his squad number from 35 to 21, which was previously worn by Fraser Forster.
On 24 February 2013, and following an injury to Tim Krul, Elliot made his first Premier League appearance for the Magpies, starting against Southampton in a 4-2 victory.
During the match, after conceding a goal in the third minute, he then assisted a Papiss Cissé wonder goal in the first half.
On 12 May, Elliot was sent off against Queens Park Rangers, following a second yellow card.
Elliot started the 2015-16 season as third choice 'keeper behind Krul and Karl Darlow.
With Krul suffering a season-ending injury and Darlow still recovering from an ankle knock, Elliot was handed his first appearance of the season on 18 October at home to Norwich City, helping Newcastle to a 6-2 win, their first win of the campaign.
It was revealed that Elliot had signed a 'new, long-term contract' back in January 2014.
Elliot continued his run in the team, keeping successive clean sheets against Stoke City and AFC Bournemouth, the latter performance earning him the man-of-the-match award in a 1-0 win.
This was the first time Newcastle had kept two clean sheets in a row in two years and their first away win in ten months.
On 29 March 2016, whilst on international duty, Elliot sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and was ruled out of action for six months, ending his hopes of a place on the Republic of Ireland squad for UEFA Euro 2016.
Elliot returned to the Newcastle squad in December, but by then, Darlow had usurped him as the first choice 'keeper.
For the next two months, he was not involved in the first team, but did make two appearances for the reserves.
From February 2017 onwards, Elliot would be on the bench until 24 April, when Darlow himself was benched due to squad rotation.
Elliot's first appearance of the season came in a 4-1 win over Preston North End.
On 11 August 2017, Elliot's shirt number was changed from 21 to 1 in the 2017-18 squad number announcement, replacing Tim Krul, who had been linked with a permanent move to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Elliot never made an appearance in the 2018-19 season, having lost his place in the side to Martin Dúbravka.
On 28 January 2021, Elliot signed for Watford on a contract until the end of the 2020-21 season.
Elliot made his debut for Watford in a League Cup tie against Stoke City on 21 September 2021, his first competitive game since 2017.
Elliot, who was born in England, is eligible for the Republic of Ireland through his father's family from Cork, and represented Ireland at under-19 level.
On 5 October 2013, he received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad as a replacement for the injured Darren Randolph for the games against Germany and Kazakhstan.
Elliot won his first international senior cap for the Republic of Ireland on 25 May 2014, in a 2-1 home loss to Turkey.
