The 27-year-old joined from Jersey Reds in October 2023 and has since made 28 appearances.
"I'm very grateful for the opportunity to keep representing Newcastle Red Bulls at such an exciting time for the club," Elliott said.
"It was a no-brainer for me to extend, coming through the academy here and supporting the club my whole life. There's nowhere else I'd rather be."
Elliott has featured in 17 matches in all competitions for Newcastle this season and made six starts.
"He works hard at his game, he's a positive influence on those around him and he's got that connection to the local area," said sporting general manager Neil McIlroy.
"Not only that, but he's a talented scrum-half who can get us into the right areas of the field, so I'm glad that he will be with us for at least the next couple of years."
