Early life[edit]
Baggott was born in Bangkok, Thailand, to an Indonesian mother and English father
and chose to represent Indonesia internationally.[4][5] Baggott spent his early childhood
in Thailand before his family moved to Indonesia in 2008. He learned to play football
at the Soccer School Jakarta and was appointed as captain for his British
International School squad. His family eventually decided to settle in England in
2011.[5]

Club career[edit]
Ipswich Town[edit]
Having joined Ipswich Town on a two-year scholarship in 2019,[6] Baggott made his
senior debut for the club on 6 October 2020, in a 2–0 victory over Gillingham in
the EFL Trophy.[5] On 28 January 2021, Baggott penned his first professional contract
with Ipswich, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the option of an additional
year's extension.[7]
King's Lynn Town (loan)[edit]
On 22 March 2021, Baggott joined National League side King's Lynn Town on a
youth loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season. He made his debut for the club
as a starting on 23 March 2021 in a 3–0 lose over Altrincham.[8][9]
International career[edit]
Baggott has played for Indonesia at the under-19 level.[10] He won his first cap for the
under-19 team on 11 October 2020 in a friendly against North Macedonia U19.[11] He
received a call to join the senior Indonesian national football team in May 2021 but
rejected it due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.[12]
On 22 October 2021, the Chief of PSSI, Mochamad Iriawan, stated that Baggott had
refused to play for Indonesia after rejecting multiple call-ups. [13] Baggott immediately
sent a letter to PSSI expressing his apology and his will to accept the next call-up,
citing the fact that the COVID-19 situation in the United Kingdom and Indonesia have
been much better. Iriawan openly accepted his apology three days later. [14][15]
On 16 November 2021, he made his debut for the senior team in a friendly
match against Afghanistan. He played for 68 minutes and was substituted by Victor
Igbonefo due to a concussion head injury, which resulted in an England Football
Association mandatory 14 day 'no footballing activity' recuperation period. Elkan was
cleared to play again on 2 December 2021, after a neurological MRI scan concluded
no lasting damage.[16] On 12 December 2021, Elkan made his senior team
competition debut against Laos in the AFF Suzuki Cup, played in Singapore.
Indonesia won the match 5-1.
On 19 December 2021, he scored his first goal for the Indonesian national team,
netting a header for the last goal of a 4-1 win against Malaysia.[17]
