A power target man with an eye for goal, Elding signed for the Alex in July 2008 from Leeds United after an unsuccessful six months with the Yorkshire Club. Elding signed for Leeds in the January transfer window in 2008 from Stockport County and after making just nine appearances found himself frozen out by new manager Gary McAllister.
In order to play first-team football Anthony opted for the move to Cheshire for an undisclosed fee in July.
Anthony first caught the eye of our coaching staff whilst with Stockport, where, in total, he scored 26 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions. During his first season, he topped the club's goals coring charts, having netted 11 League goals in just 20 League games.
His career began with Boston in 1999 where he was a youth player, returning for a second spell in 2006. He also spent time with Stevenage and Kettering.Season 2008 - 09
