Elijah Just move to Swansea confirmed

Last Updated : 22-Jul-2026 by John Wilson

Elijah Just has moved to Swansea as Motherwell take in a record fee.

Speculation about the future of Just grew and grew as he played a huge part in the Jens Berthel Askou project last season.  His three goals for New Zealand in the World Cup added fuel to the rumour mill and added considerable value to a potential transfer fee.


The Fir Park treasurer will see the bank balance grow by at least £5 million with more to come as add-on clauses are triggered.  Motherwell’s finances have never been better with this latest sale adding to those for Lennon Miller, Elliot Watt and Callum Ward.

The midfielder will join former team-mate Stephen Welsh in the Welsh dressing room as the Swans prepare for their Championship campaign.

His final act in claret and amber was to score a penalty in the pre-season friendly against Genk.

'Well fans will view his progress with Swansea and wish him every success.
