He was instrumental in the midfield for the national team as they emerged victorious with a 3–2 win over Uganda at the Orlando Stadium.

Ethan rose to prominence in the current season but is already flourishing under the guidance and mentorship of veteran coach Owen Da Gama at TS Galaxy FC.

He made his professional debut in elite football last year against Mamelodi Sundowns, and has not looked back.

The young exciting midfielder’s journey began at Mondeor Meteors Football Club and he spent some time at the Jabez Football Academy before joining the Radiokop-based Panorama FC.

“Being a professional footballer to me is a prophecy being fulfilled as my parents would always remind me that this was destined for me,” said Ethan.

Ethan’s growth from a four-year-old soccer-loving boy to his national team debut at the age of 19 shows the dedication and desire in him, making him an example to other aspiring footballers in the country.
