Ahmad Elrich (born May 30, 1981 in Sydney) is an Australian football (soccer) midfielder who currently plays for Fulham F.C. in the English Premiership and for the Australian national team. He is of Lebanese descent.
Elrich signed a 3 year deal with Fulham in the Summer of 2005 from K-League club Busan I'cons. He has also previously played for Parramatta Power. He was loaned out to F.C. Lyn Oslo from April to May 2006.
A midfielder renowned in Australia for his pace and ability to change games, he represented Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics. His inactivity for Fulham was seen as the key factor in him not being selected for the Australian World Cup squad.
He represented Australia at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship.
On the 6th of September 2006, Elrich suffered a serious knee injury whilst playing for Australia in an Asian Cup qualifier against Kuwait.
Since signing for Fulham and making his debut against Liverpool FC, in an English Premiership game, Elrich's first team appearances have been few and far between, but with a 3 year contract signed in 2006, his Fulham future still looks safe.
