Elkan William Tio Baggott was born on 23 October 2002 in Bangkok, Thailand, to an Indonesian mother and an English father.

On 16 April 2022, he became the first Indonesian player to play in an English professional league when he appeared for Ipswich Town in an EFL League One match against Rotherham United. Baggott signed a new three-year deal with the club in June 2022.
On 1 November 2023, Baggott scored his first goal for the Blues against Fulham in a 1–3 defeat in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, making him the first Indonesian to score a goal in the competition.
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 on 23 March 2021, playing 90 minutes in a 3–0 loss to Altrincham.
