Ethan Galbraith: Belfast to the bet365 Stadium via Manchester United

Midfielder Ethan Galbraith joins Rob Adcock for an open and honest conversation about the journey that has brought him to Stoke City.

The Northern Ireland international reflects on growing up in Belfast, the sacrifices his parents made to support his football dream, and the life-changing move that saw him leave home at 16 to join Manchester United.

Ethan discusses learning alongside some of the game's biggest names, making his senior international debut at a young age, and the pressures that come with carrying expectations early in a career.

He opens up about loan spells that shaped him as a player, a special bond with a Manager who played a key role in his development, and the unforgettable play-off highs and lows that followed.

There's also plenty of chat about family life, becoming a dad, life away from football, tattoos with personal significance, trainer collections and why Stoke City feels like the right move at the right time.
