Ethan Joseph Pye (born 7 November 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Stockport County.
Career
Early years
Pye came through the youth academy of Hyde United. In 2021, Pye joined the youth setup of Rochdale, where he played multiple games, one of which was the final of the 2020–21 Youth Alliance Cup, where he scored a headed goal to ensure their 3–0 victory away at Gillingham. Pye played two games for Stoke City U18s as a trialist, but did not sign on permanently.
Stockport County
Prior to the 2021–22 season, Pye joined National League side, Stockport County, on a two-year deal. With injuries to starting centre-backs, Ben Barclay and Zeki Fryers, Pye would make his debut for Stockport in a 2–1 win against Weymouth. Pye would also feature in a 5–2 win over Dover Athletic and a 2–2 draw against EFL side, Bolton Wanderers, in the FA Cup.
Spennymoor Town (loan)
On 6 January 2022, Pye joined National League North side, Spennymoor Town, on an initial three-month loan. Two days later, Pye would start in a 2–1 win against Guiseley. Pye quickly established himself in the team and would play 21 league games in total at Spennymoor, who would go on to finish 10th in the league.
Gateshead (loan)
In July 2022, Pye became the seventh signing for National League side, Gateshead, joining on a season long loan. Pye made his debut in the first league game of the season, which ended a 2–2 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge, however Pye would be forced off after just 38 minutes. Similar to when at Spennymoor, Pye quickly became one of the first names on the team sheet and became a fan favourite. Pye would score his first ever professional goal in a 4–0 victory against Maidenhead United, on the final day of the season. Despite being relegation favourites, Gateshead finished the season 14th, with Pye playing in 45 games across all competitions during the campaign. Gateshead also reached the final of the FA Trophy but despite an agreement that would allow Pye to play, Stockport recalled him days before the final. Gateshead would lose 1–0 to Halifax Town. He would win the Gateshead Player of the Month award in January and March, while also being voted as the Gateshead Players' Player of the Year.
Return to Stockport
While out on loan, Pye had agreed a new deal with Stockport, which will see him stay until at least 2024.
Style of play
Pye is a left-footed defender. He can play in multiple positions across the back line. At Spennymoor Town, Pye was utilised across the back line, mainly playing as a centre-back. At Gateshead, Pye began as a left-back but was moved to centre-back, where he played more often. At Stockport, he is being used as a left-sided centre-back as part of a back-three.
