On 19 August 2011, Partick Thistle manager Jackie McNamara signed the 20-year-old on a two-year deal.[1] The following day he scored a goal within 5 minutes of his debut during a 1–1 draw with Hamilton Academical on 20 August 2011.[2] During the 2012–13 season, Elliott scored two goals, one against Hamilton, and the other, a ninetieth-minute winner against Airdrie United, after Conrad Balatoni had equalised for Thistle in the 89th minute, as Thistle won 2–1 to close in on the First Division title.[3]
After Thistle had won promotion to the Scottish Premiership, on 28 May 2013, Elliott agreed a new deal with the club.[4] In the 2013-14 season Elliott scored his first Scottish premiership goal in a 5-1 defeat to Celtic.[5] In the 2014/15 season Elliot scored a goal in the 3-3 draw with Hamilton making 3-2 thistle after coming back from 2-0 down[6] Elliott scored his second goal of the season in a 1-0 away win against St Mirren scoring the winner in the 75th min.[7]
