Almost six years on from his Manchester United departure, Ethan Hamilton is picking up individual awards at Dundee FC.
Ethan Hamilton joined Manchester United’s academy in 2015, but never made a senior appearance.
Hamilton was sent on loan three times from United – to Rochdale, Southend United and Bolton Wanderers.
Since his permanent exit from United in 2020, Hamilton has played for Peterborough United, Accrington Stanley, and Lincoln City. He signed for Scottish Premiership outfit Dundee last summer.
