George Elokobi

Colchester United

Shortly after his arrival in England in 2002, Elokobi joined the youth scheme at Isthmian League Division One side Dulwich Hamlet. It was here that he was spotted by Colchester United scouts. He was offered a trial at the end of the 2003–04 season, before becoming Phil Parkinson's fourth summer signing on 29 June 2004.

Chester City loan

Elokobi did not feature for Colchester's first-team in his first season with the club, but he was loaned to League Two Chester City for one month in January 2005, working under Ian Rush. He made his professional debut for Chester on 29 January 2005, starting in their 3–0 defeat to Swansea City at Vetch Field. On his fifth and final appearance for the club on 26 February, he was sent off for fouling Luke Rodgers in the penalty area during a 5–0 defeat away to Shrewsbury Town.

2005–06 season

Despite failing to make a first-team appearance for Colchester during the 2004–05 season, Elokobi was rewarded with a new deal to remain at the club after making the substitutes bench for a number of games towards the end of the season. He eventually made his U's debut on 24 August 2005 in their 2–0 defeat to Cardiff City in the League Cup at Layer Road. He replaced Pat Baldwin after 78 minutes of play. He made his first league start three days later as Colchester were held to a 0–0 draw by Oldham Athletic. He then scored his first professional goal on 24 September with the opener at home against…

Elokobi was first called up for the Cameroon national team in November 2010 for a training camp in France in December 2010 in preparation for 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games. He was again called-up ahead of a qualifying game with Senegal in March 2011, replacing the injured Gaëtan Bong, but was an unused substitute in the match. He was also set to play in a friendly against Gabon in France three days later, but the game was cancelled with no official reason announced for the cancellation.

Maidstone United

Following the departure of Hakan Hayrettin in January 2023, Elokobi was appointed caretaker manager of Maidstone United. On 24 March 2023, Elokobi was named permanent manager at Maidstone United. In the 2023–24 season, Maidstone reached the FA Cup fourth round for the first time. On 27 January 2024, Maidstone reached the FA Cup fifth round for the first time after a shock 2–1 away win at Ipswich Town. They became "the first club outside the top five tiers of English football to reach the FA Cup fifth round since Blyth Spartans in 1978". On 14 April 2026, Elokobi announced that he would be departing the club at the end of the 2025–26 season.

For Series Two of the Apple TV series Ted Lasso, assistant director Sophie Worger hired former professional player Kasali Casal to manage the football choreography. Casal enlisted a team of former professional players to play for the opposition teams facing AFC Richmond during game scenes, including Elokobi and fellow former Premier League players Lee Hendrie, Jermaine Pennant and Jay Bothroyd.
