Medy Ekofo Elito (born 20 March 1990) is a footballer who plays as a Winger for Newport County.

Club career

As a teenager, Elito played in the Colchester United Youth Academy. He signed a professional contract with the U's in May 2007, having already played for the U's at youth and reserve team level. He was given the number 30 shirt for the 2007–08 season and made his Colchester debut as a substitute in a 4–1 defeat away at Plymouth Argyle on 4 March 2008. On 29 March 2008, he scored his first professional goal, against West Bromwich Albion in the Championship. At the time it gave Colchester a 2–0 lead, although following a half time substitution, Elito was helpless as they went on to lose 4–3, and eventually lose their Championship status. On 4 September 2009, he signed a new two-year contract with Colchester United.

Elito signed a month long loan at Cheltenham Town on 5 March 2010, and made he debut against Chesterfield a day later. After increasing that loan to the end of the season, Elito scored goals against Darlington, Port Vale as well as a well timed strike from the edge of the box against Burton Albion, in the 6–5 win.
