Ellis started the 2000-01 season where he had left off at end of the previous campaign, namely scoring goals. He netted four times from eight starts including a last gasp equaliser against first division Blackburn in the Worthington Cup but then hit something of a lean patch. He featured regularly for Dale until March when he lost his place to new signing Paul Connor and made just one more appearance in the closing weeks of the campaign. Now reaching the veteran stage of his career he is a hard working striker who holds the ball up well and has an excellent scoring record.
