Elijah Just

Elijah Just has been a regular for Motherwell in the 2025-26 Premiership, making 35 appearances and starting 32 of them. Seven league goals from right wing is a useful return rather than a dominant one, and the balance of starts to substitute outings points to a settled first-team role. He has also featured eight times across the League Cup and Scottish Cup without scoring, while his four goals in one WC Qual. Oceania appearance underline his productivity at international level.

Just’s career has moved from New Zealand into the European club game, taking in Eastern Suburbs, FC Helsingør, AC Horsens, St. Polten on loan and now Motherwell. The trajectory is one of steady progression rather than early stardom, with the move to Scotland coming after spells in Denmark and Austria. Recent season records list six goals in 2024-25 and seven in 2025-26, suggesting he has carried some attacking output into his current spell.

The transfer pattern is relatively controlled: a free move from Eastern Suburbs to FC Helsingør in 2019, undisclosed-fee transfers to AC Horsens in 2022 and Motherwell in 2025, plus a loan to St. Polten in 2024. That sequence shows a player building value after leaving New Zealand, with Motherwell committing to him on a permanent deal rather than taking a short-term punt. His current €1.50m market value is consistent with a player viewed as an established senior option.
