Cami Elliott hopes to be sticking around as Kilby start life in the SPFL next season
East Kilbride hero Cami Elliott reckons the club's potential is 'massive' now they have finally reached the SPFL.
The Lowland League champions defeated Bonnyrigg Rose 3-1 on aggregate in the League Two play-off final last week to earn promotion to the professional ranks for the first time in their history.
‌
It opens the door for the club to keep climbing the leagues and they will be setting their sights on winning promotion from League Two next season.
‌
Elliott bagged a brace in the first leg against Bonnyrigg and is hoping he will be sticking around for the journey in the SPFL in what is his second spell at K-Park.
He said: 'It feels brilliant to get the club up. I was here for a year-and-a-half the first time and we never managed to get up and it was so frustrating.
'We invested so much into last time and it is such a relief to get up this time and know we will be playing in the leagues [SPFL] next season.
'So this moment is for everybody in East Kilbride.
'And I really feel this club can go so massive, so quickly now.
‌
'East Kilbride is such a big town so hopefully we can keep being successful and the fan base can keep growing as well.
'I haven't spoken to the club about next season. Before the play-offs a lot of us weren't sure about our futures – even Mick [Kennedy] and Si [Ferry, the management team].
'But I think what we have achieved is massive and hopefully I'll be here to go again next season.
‌
'I am glad to do this for everyone at the club and in the town.'
Elliott's double and Jordan McGregor's strike helped EK earn a 3-1 first leg win at K-Park and Kilby's top scorer this season with an impressive 41 goals said they always believed the home tie would be the pivotal game.
‌
The 25-year-old said: 'We always knew it would be about doing a good job in the home game because we knew how hard the second leg would be on their pitch.
'We set up well and that is the first clean sheet we've kept in a while so it was good.
'Everybody dug in to get us the result we needed. Bonnyrigg never really looked like scoring so it was a good game plan from us to get over the line.'
East Kilbride will learn their League Two fixtures for next season when the 2025/26 schedule is released on June 20.
