He has finally been given the platform to show himself in men&#8217;s football. Galbraith will be guided by former Manchester United academy player Richie Wellens, who is <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/05\/17\/richie-wellens-doncaster-rovers\/\" target=\"_self\">now the manager of Doncaster Rovers<\/a> &#8211; a club he also played for.<\/p>\n<p>Wellens, formerly a midfielder himself, is keen on the talent Galbraith possesses.

He&#8217;s played in the under 23s for a couple of years and needs the opportunity to play first-team football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think in terms of ability he has every chance of being a top player, I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how he adapts to the physicality of this level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The opportunity came to get him in and when a player like Ethan becomes available we couldn&#8217;t miss out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Galbraith will wear the number 22 shirt at the Keepmoat Stadium and will be available to face <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/05\/sheffield-wednesday-lee-gregory\/\" target=\"_self\">Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> at Hillsborough on Saturday, August 14.<\/p>\n<h3>Ethan Galbraith Delighted to Finally Get Deal Done<\/h3>\n<p>Galbraith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk\/news\/2021\/august\/galbraith-excited-to-test-himself\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told the club website<\/a>: &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted to be here and finally have the deal over the line, I can&#8217;t wait to get started and show what I can do.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My agent informed me that Doncaster were interested, I played with Richie&#8217;s son (Charlie) at United so this was the place I wanted to come.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been playing in the 23s at United for the past two seasons, so I feel I&#8217;m past that stage now and ready for the challenge of men&#8217;s football.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will be a lot tougher than what I&#8217;m used to and people want to get about you, but I&#8217;m ready for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a player that likes to get on the ball and dictate play, and if I can get high up the pitch then I can add goals as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Galbraith has shown versatility within the setup at United.
