After the Red-White troops stopped in the last 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup, all the players returned to their respective clubs.
However, Elkan's return to Ipswich Town was increasingly marginalized. He was not attracted to play time.
Previously, Elkan had not had a major place in Ipswich Town since half the season, either at the Championship Division or at the second level of British competitions or other events attended by the club.
It was noted that he only played in the Premier League Cup four times. No wonder, Ipswich Town released Elkan on loan in half of the season.
Luckily, Bristol Rovers immediately glanced at Elkan Baggott when his status was hanging while defending the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup.
Bristol Rovers is attracted by the action of the central defender to lead the Indonesian national team to make history for the first time qualifying for the knockout stages of the Asian Cup.
Bristol Rovers kini tampil di Liga One atau level ketiga kompetisi Inggris. Mereka menghuni peringkat ke-11 di klasemen musim 2023/2024 dari 28 pertandingan.
