Finn Ecrepont (born 30 July 2002)[1] is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for club Stranraer.[2] He spent his youth and early years at Ayr United, and also played on loan for Albion Rovers and Stranraer.
Ecrepont was born in Scotland in 2002. He attended Alloway Primary School and had plans to play as a left back.[3]
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. 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.
Ecrepont made his debut, coming off the bench against Dundee United in the Scottish Championship on 30 November 2018.
On 26 January 2023, Ecrepont joined Scottish League Two club Stranraer on loan until the end of the season.[4]
In January 2024, Ecrepont would return to Stranraer on a permanent basis.[5]
On 25 July 2017, aged 14, Ecrepont made his Scotland under-16 debut in a 7–0 thrashing of Qatar.[6] He went on to gain 9 caps and scored one goal at that level.
On 19 August 2018, Ecrepont made his debut for the under-17s in a 1–0 win over Russia.[7]
His younger brother Ollie is also a footballer, who plays as a goalkeeper and was also in the Ayr United squad in 2023[8] – they were the first siblings to be contracted to the club at the same time.[9]
