Callum Elder

Elder plays left back the way he describes himself, an athletic full back who enjoys getting up and down the left hand side rather than sitting deep and simply defending crosses. That energy has made him a genuine attacking outlet from a defensive position throughout a career that has taken him through several clubs at a good level. He has earned international recognition along the way, evidence that his quality has never really been in doubt when he is fit and available.

Injuries have been the recurring theme of his career rather than form, interrupting spells just as he looks to be establishing himself as a first choice option. The tension for Lincoln is straightforward, whether his body allows him to deliver that attacking full back role consistently across a full year rather than in bursts between setbacks. When available, few doubt what he adds to the side.
