Medy Ekofo Elito (born 20 March 1990) is a footballer who plays as a Winger for Newport County.

Club career

As a teenager, Elito played in the Colchester United Youth Academy. He signed a professional contract with the U's in May 2007, having already played for the U's at youth and reserve team level.[2] He was given the number 30 shirt for the 2007–08 season and made his Colchester debut as a substitute in a 4–1 defeat away at Plymouth Argyle on 4 March 2008. On 29 March 2008, he scored his first professional goal, against West Bromwich Albion in the Championship. At the time it gave Colchester a 2–0 lead, although following a half time substitution, Elito was helpless as they went on to lose 4–3, and eventually lose their Championship status. On 4 September 2009, he signed a new two-year contract with Colchester United.

Elito signed a month long loan at Cheltenham Town on 5 March 2010,[3] and made he debut against Chesterfield a day later. After increasing that loan to the end of the season, Elito scored goals against Darlington, Port Vale as well as a well timed strike from the edge of the box against Burton Albion, in the 6–5 win.

In November 2010, Elito joined Dagenham & Redbridge on loan until 3 January 2011.[4] He made his debut for Dagenham and scored on 13 November in a 3–1 away win against Yeovil Town.[5]

On 25 February 2011, Elito signed on loan to Cheltenham until the end of the season.[6]

On 28 April, Colchester announced that he would be one of three players who would be released at the end of the season.[7]

On 28 June 2011, Elito signed for League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a two-year deal. On 7 January 2013, Elto signed a two-year contract extension.[8] In the summer of 2014, Elito was released from his contract at Dagenham & Redbridge at his own request and was transferred to Dutch side, VVV-Venlo in the Eerste Divisie, the second tier of Dutch football.[9]

On 25 June 2015 Elito signed for League Two club Newport County. He made his debut for Newport on 8 August 2015 versus Cambridge United, missing a penalty in the 72nd minute in a 3-0 defeat.


International career

In the summer of 2007, he was selected to represent England at the FIFA U17 World Cup in Korea, having previously represented them in the Algarve Tournament, a round-robin tournament held in Portugal.[10] He made a substitute appearance in England's 5–0 win against New Zealand, winning praise from the U17's Head Coach, John Peacock, and also made an appearance in the tournament in the quarter final game with Germany.[11][12] He received further praise, this time from ex-Us player Perry Groves when he was selected for the England U18 side to face Ghana in November 2007 at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium,[13] a match in which he came on as a half time substitute for Nathan Porritt, the final result being a 2–0 England win.[14]
