18-year-old Ethan, a defender, agreed a two-year-deal with the Club in 2021 after leaving Rochdale AFC, where he was part of their development squad that won the Youth Alliance League Cup last season, with Ethan scoring in the final.
Ethan was tracked by the scouting team prior to and following the County Academy’s loss to Hyde United in the FA Youth Cup, a game which Ethan played in. The club beat off competition from several Category 1 and 2 U23 sides to sign Ethan on a permanent transfer.
