"Max is a bright, young, attacking talent with bags of potential," Nashville SC general manager Mike Jacobs said in a news release. "His versatility enables him to play multiple roles across our front line, and his tenacity makes him a constant goal threat."
Elk played in seven games for Huntsville last season, recording one assist, but missed most of the year due to injury.
Prior to Huntsville, the 5-foot-10 Ekk played for the Central Valley Fuego in the USL League One, scoring two goals in 11 games.
Ekk will divide time between Nashville and Huntsville in 2025. NSC has forwards Sam Surridge , Teal Bunbury and Adem Sipić currently under contract and recently sent Woobens Pacius on loan to the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the United Soccer League.
