Club career
Born in Cartagena, Elitim moved to Cali at the age of 12, joining Club JC FC Cyclones' youth setup. After impressing in a tournament at the age of 15, he agreed to a deal with Granada CF, but was unable to join the club until the age of 18; he was assigned to Leones FC instead.[1]
Elitim made his first team debut for Leones on 9 October 2016, aged 17, by playing the last eight minutes of a 2–1 Categoría Primera B home win against Tigres.[2] In July 2017, he moved to Granada after his 18th birthday.
On 22 August 2018, Elitim joined Segunda División B side Marbella FC for the 2018–19 season.[3] On 31 July of the following year, after having his federative rights assigned to Watford, his loan was renewed for a further year.[4]
On 9 August 2020, Elitim agreed to a one-year loan deal with Segunda División side SD Ponferradina.[5] He made his professional debut on 20 September, coming on as a late substitute for Yuri de Souza in a 2–0 away win against Albacete Balompié.[6]
