Ethan Ross departs Altrincham following the expiration of his contract
Everyone at Altrincham Football Club would like to thank Ethan Ross as he departs The J.Davidson Stadium following the expiration of his contract.
Initially joining the Robins on loan from Stockport County in August 2023, Ethan quickly established himself as one of the National League's standout goalkeepers, playing a pivotal role in Alty's run to the Play Off semi finals during the 2023/24 campaign.
His outstanding performances, commanding presence and consistency between the posts made him an instant favourite with the supporters, who voted him Union Golf Road Fans' Player of the Year at the end of his first season with the club.
Ethan continued that outstanding form into the 2024/25 season before his campaign was cruelly cut short by an ACL injury in February 2025. Despite missing the closing months of the season, supporters once again recognised his impact by voting him Fans' Player of the Year for a second consecutive season.
After signing a new contract ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, Ethan combined his rehabilitation with a valuable role as the club's goalkeeping coach, continuing to contribute both on and off the pitch throughout his recovery.
In total, Ethan made 72 appearances in an Altrincham shirt, leaving a lasting impression through his professionalism, leadership and commitment to the club.
From everyone at Altrincham Football Club, thank you for everything, Ethan. We wish you and your family every success for the future, and you will always be assured of a warm welcome back at The J.Davidson Stadium.
Reflecting on his time with the club, Ethan said:
"I'd just like to say a massive thank you to everyone connected with Altrincham Football Club. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel at home by the players, staff, volunteers and, of course, the supporters.
"To win the Fans' Player of the Year award twice is something I'll always be incredibly proud of. The backing I received, especially during my injury, meant more than you'll ever know.
"I'm leaving with some fantastic memories and lifelong friendships. I'll always look out for Alty's results and wish everyone at the club nothing but success in the future. Thank you for everything."
