Manchester City sign first e-sports player

Manchester City Football Club have signed a new young player – but one who will never set foot on the pitch.

Instead 18-year-old Kieran “Kez” Brown joins the club as its first e-sports player.

He will represent the club at e-sports tournaments, playing popular computer game Fifa.

Premier League rivals West Ham signed their first Fifa player, Sean “Dragonn” Allen, in May and many other top flight clubs are keen to get involved.
