Ethan Freemantle

Ethan Freemantle (born 6 February 2000) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for club Stourbridge.

Career
Freemantle came through the youth academy at Kidderminster Harriers, signing professional terms in 2019. Before Kidderminster he was a scholar at Walsall. While with Kidderminster's U23 side, he won the Midland Football League U21 play-off final.

In February 2021, he extended his contract at Kidderminster until the end of the 2022–23 season. During Kidderminster's run to the FA Cup fourth round in 2022, he was described by team-mate Mark Carrington as the team's "Diego Costa".

On 1 August 2023, Freemantle joined National League North club Gloucester City on a three-month loan. He scored his first and only goal of his loan spell in a 2–0 league win over Rushall Olympic on 28 August.

On 22 September 2023, Freemantle joined National League North club Hereford on a three-month loan. He scored his first goal for Hereford in a 1–0 win over Rochdale in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on 14 October, and his first league goal one month later in a 4–1 win over Banbury United on 14 November. He returned to Kidderminster at the end of his loan spell in December.

A day after leaving Hereford, Freemantle joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Stourbridge on loan until the end of the season.

Following the end of the 2023/24 campaign, despite Kidderminster's relegation to the National League North and also showing good form at Stourbridge, Freemantle was released. Subsequently it was later announced on 14 June 2024, that he will be returning to Stourbridge on a permanent deal.
