Born in Cartagena, Elitim moved to Cali at the age of 12, joining Club JC FC Cyclones' youth setup. After impressing in a tournament at the age of 15, he agreed to a deal with Granada CF, but was unable to join the club until the age of 18; he was assigned to Leones FC instead.[2]

On 22 August 2018, Elitim joined Segunda División B side Marbella FC for the 2018–19 season.[4] On 31 July of the following year, after having his federative rights assigned to Watford, his loan was renewed for a further year.[5]

On 9 August 2020, Elitim agreed to a one-year loan deal with Segunda División side Ponferradina.[6] He made his professional debut on 20 September, coming on as a late substitute for Yuri de Souza in a 2–0 away win against Albacete Balompié.[7]

On 9 July 2021, Elitim returned to Spain, joining Deportivo de La Coruña on a season-long loan deal.[8] On 2 July of the following year, he moved to Racing de Santander on a one-year loan deal.[9]

On 27 June 2023, he signed a three-year contract with the Polish Ekstraklasa side Legia Warsaw.[1]
