Get to know Ethan
Are you a Southampton fan, and how does it feel to be playing for them in the ePL finals?
I’m not a fan personally but I enjoy watching them. I was encouraged to play for Southampton through Venny, the ex-Southampton [esports] player, as he said how well they treated him. I’m looking forward to representing Southampton in the biggest tournament in the UK.
If you could meet one current Southampton player, who would it be?
James Ward-Prowse. I need him to teach me how to be so deadly on set-pieces.
Have you done anything to enhance your game this season?
I've practised a little more, and against the best players consistently.
What has been the most exciting thing about competing in ePL so far?
It’s the biggest event in the UK so it’s always fun to represent a club at the biggest stage. I enjoy the pressure of trying to make the event.
What would it mean for you to win the ePL title?
It would mean a lot as I’m still searching to win my first proper event, and to win ePL is a huge deal.
