'''Mark Elrick''' (born 7 April 1967 in [Auckland](/source/Auckland)) is a former [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand) soccer player who played as a striker.

He has played for several teams in his native country and came out of retirement in November 2006 to join struggling Hawke's Bay. He had been player-coach at [Onehunga Sports](/source/Onehunga_Sports) in Auckland for the last two years. A spectator at Hawke's Bay's 2–1 loss to [Waitakere United](/source/Waitakere_United) Elrick approached [Jonathan Gould](/source/Jonathan_Gould_(goalkeeper)) after the match and asked if the Park Island club would be interested in his services. An agreement was immediately reached on the spot. Also, he works occasionally as a football commentator for [SKY TV](/source/SKY_Network_Television).<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bidwell|first1=Hamish|title=SOCCER: Veteran striker signs up|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=10947689|accessdate=8 January 2018|work=[The New Zealand Herald](/source/The_New_Zealand_Herald) |date=15 November 2006}}</ref>
