[edit]In December 2013, Elsey joined Hong Kong First Division club Kitchee on loan,[1] however he was recalled early and subsequently did not make a senior appearance.[2]
In January 2014, Elsey scored his debut goal for Adelaide United in stoppage time of a match against league leaders Brisbane Roar, giving Adelaide United a surprising 2–1 victory.[3]
On 4 November 2014 Adelaide United confirmed that Jordan had ruptured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament.[4] He made his return to action on 7 November 2015 playing for the Adelaide United Youth side and a return to the senior team later in the season.
In July 2021, Elsey departed his hometown club Adelaide United at the end of his contract.[5] He departed with a league title in 2016 with Adelaide United and two Australian Cups in 2018 and 2019, whilst making 124 league appearances and scoring 4 goals.

After playing 10 league games and scoring one goal, he departed Perth Glory to explore playing opportunities in India.[8] In August 2023, he signed for East Bengal for two years.[9] He then left after just one year with the club in 2024, with no league appearances due to injury.[10]
In 2024, Elsey returned to his hometown club Adelaide United on a one year deal.[11] He made his first appearance for the club in almost 4 years, coming on as a substitute in a 3-0 loss to Western United on 23 February 2025.
