Club career

Ayr United

Ecrepont joined Ayr United at the age of 9, moving through the under-17, under-20 and under-21 teams. On 1 July 2018, he signed a senior three-year contract. As well as playing for Ayr's youth teams he said that he often does a few shifts at a cafe which his dad Eddy runs. [3] At first, Ecrepont struggled to find a school that would accept him because of his footballing duties as he was training four mornings a week after signing a new contract but Ayr Academy let him in. [3]

Ecrepont made his debut, coming off the bench against Dundee United in the Scottish Championship on 30 November 2018. [4]

On 26 January 2023, Ecrepont joined Scottish League Two club Stranraer on loan until the end of the season. [5]

In January 2024, Ecrepont would return to Stranraer on a permanent basis. [6]

International career

On 25 July 2017, aged 14, Ecrepont made his Scotland under-16 debut in a 7–0 thrashing of Qatar. [7] He went on to gain 9 caps and scored one goal at that level. [1]

On 19 August 2018, Ecrepont made his debut for the under-17s in a 1–0 win over Russia. [8]

Personal life

His younger brother Ollie is also a footballer, who plays as a goalkeeper and was also in the Ayr United squad in 2023 [9] – they were the first siblings to be contracted to the club at the same time. [10]
