He has previously coached National Rugby League clubs, the Canberra Raiders, Penrith Panthers and New Zealand Warriors, as well as a Super League club, the Bradford Bulls, and the United States national team.
Born on Thursday Island, Elliott grew up in Townsville in far north Queensland.

Between 1989 and 1992 Elliott played 61 games for the St. George Dragons. At the end of the 1992 NSWRL season Elliott played for the Dragons off the bench in their grand final loss against the Brisbane Broncos.

In 1997 and 1999 he was named the Super League coach of the Year. He coached the Bradford Bulls to the 1999 Super League Grand Final which was lost to St Helens RLFC.
