Elijah Just, born on the first day of May in the year 2000 (currently in his illustrious 25th year), hails from the distant shores of New Zealand. He is a footballing forward, predominantly plying his trade as a right winger for Motherwell, a club of notable repute from Scotland. Standing 5 feet 8 inches tall (or 1.74 metres for those preferring the metric system), and weighing in at a lean and nimble 10 stone 12 pounds (or 69 kilogrammes), Just adds a respectable physical presence to his considerable skill. He dons the number 21 jersey, adding to a long line of iconic number 21s in footballing history. His talent isn't solely recognised on Scottish soil, as Just has also represented his nation at the highest level.
The current estimation of his market value is a commendable €1.50 million, a sterling endorsement of his value on the pitch as per the well-established Transfermarkt, (source provided here).
Just's journey in professional football has been a path of consistent progression, initially making a move from the Eastern Suburbs in New Zealand to FC Helsingør in Denmark's 2nd Division, in July 2019. From here, the upward trajectory continued in August 2022, with a move from FC Helsingør to AC Horsens in Denmark's top-tier league, with financial details of the deal remaining undisclosed.
Upon moving to AC Horsens, the 2022-2023 season marked Just’s debut in the Danish top division. During this impressive freshman campaign, he featured 27 times for the first team. His time at AC Horsens was soon followed by a loan spell at St. Polten in the 2. Liga in Austria in August 2024. His Austrian adventure saw him amass 19 first team appearances and a not-so-subtle six goal haul in league matches.
The progression of Just soon took him to the Scottish top tier, as in July 2025 he transferred from AC Horsens to Motherwell. Since his move to Scotland, Just has settled well and already made a significant impact in the 2025/2026 season with 28 first team appearances and seven goals under his belt.
Just also has an impressive record in domestic and international competitions. During the League Cup 2025 - 2026 season for Motherwell, he started five matches and made a single substitute appearance. Similarly, in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, Just made a start and an appearance off the bench. On international duties, representing New Zealand in the World Cup Qualifiers Oceania 2024 - 2026, Just managed to find the back of the net four times in a single start, reinforcing his pedigree as a top-level performer.
