Ethan made 28 appearances, scoring twice, in his first spell in 2023, after which he returned to his parent club AFC Wimbledon and was duly awarded a new two year contract.

Last season, he returned to Tonbridge in late September, making a further 33 appearances, scoring another four goals. Ethan has made 61 appearances in total for the Angels, a remarkable number for a player on loan.

Alan Dunne said of Ethan’s return: “Ethan needs no introduction. He has served the club really well during his previous loans. He will bolster our defence as well as posing a threat going forward.”
