Elderson Uwa Echiejile is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays for Belgian club Cercle Brugge K.S.V. as a left back.

A left-sided player who started out as an attacker, Elderson Uwa Echiejile keeps his offensive attributes well-utilised even from his now-favoured left-back position. His ability to get forward down the flank and whip in crosses could be one of Nigeria’s secret weapons, if he finds match action.

He began his career at Bendel Insurance and moved to Europe in 2007, joining Rennes where he was mainly a reserve. He spent four seasons in Portugal's top flight with Braga, before returning to France to join Monaco in 2014. A full international for Nigeria since 2009, Echiejile played at two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, winning the 2013 edition, and also played at the 2010 World Cup.
