He joined Aberdeen as a ten year old worked his way up through the club’s youth system starting in the under 11s.

At this time last year Ethan travelled with the first team to Dubai for the warm weather training camp before making his professional debut as a late substitute against Stenhousemuir in the Scottish Cup Fourth Round Replay at Ochilview on 29 January 2019.
On 9 March 2019, he made his league debut again coming off the bench in an away match against Celtic. After Ethan was named the 2018/19 Development Player of the Year at the annual AFC Awards Dinner he signed a new two year contract keeping him at Aberdeen until the summer of 2021.
Those who have watched Ethan’s progress at Aberdeen describe him as confident, assured, driven to succeed and most importantly is a very good football player.
