Elijah Just

Elijah Just has been a regular part of Motherwell’s Premiership side this season, making 34 league appearances with 31 starts from the right wing. Seven league goals is a solid return for a wide player, while eight domestic cup appearances without a goal suggests his main attacking value has come in league play. Four yellow cards and no reds point to a broadly controlled profile rather than a disciplinary concern.

Just’s career has moved from New Zealand into the European mid-tier circuit, with spells at Eastern Suburbs, FC Helsingør, AC Horsens, St. Pölten on loan and now Motherwell. The available scoring record shows six goals in 2024-2025 and seven in 2025-2026, suggesting he has become more productive in his mid-20s rather than breaking through as a high-output winger early.

The transfer pattern is measured rather than spectacular: a free transfer from Eastern Suburbs to FC Helsingør, undisclosed-fee moves to AC Horsens and then Motherwell, plus a loan to St. Pölten in between. The move to Motherwell looks like a step into a more visible league environment, with his €1.50m market value reflecting a player who has built value through gradual progression.
