Ethan Robson (born 25 October 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Blackpool. He began his career with Sunderland, and spent time on loan with Dundee and Grimsby Town, before joining Blackpool in 2020.
Club career
Robson was born in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, and attended St Robert of Newminster Catholic School in nearby Washington.[3] He started his career with the youth team at local side Sunderland, joining the club at the age of eight and rose through the ranks to go to a full-time professional with the first team in the summer of 2014.[3]
He featured regularly and captained the development squad and under-23 side before signing a two-year contract extension in April 2016.[4] He played three games for the under-21 side in the 2016–17 EFL Trophy, and also appeared as an unused substitute on several occasions for the first team.[5] He made his first-team debut in September 2017, when he replaced James Vaughan as a late substitute in the 3–0 defeat to Everton in the EFL Cup.[6] A few days later he made his league debut in the Championship in a home defeat to Cardiff City.[6]
Robson was loaned to Dundee in January 2019.[7] He made 13 appearances in the Scottish Premiership and scored twice.[8]
On 2 September 2019, Robson headed out on loan again, this time joining League Two side Grimsby Town, where he played regularly until returning to Sunderland in January 2020.[9][8]
Robson was released by Sunderland when his contract expired at the end of the 2019–20 season, bringing to an end a 16-year spell with the club during which he made just nine league appearances.[10]
On 6 August 2020, Robson joined League One club Blackpool on a two-year deal with an option of a third.[11] He scored his first goal for Blackpool in an EFL Trophy tie against Leeds United U21s on 11 November 2020.[12]
