Scouting Report & Player Insights
Ethan Pinnock is a physically imposing Jamaican centre-back who has been a defensive mainstay for Brentford since their promotion to the Premier League. Strong in the air and combative in ground duels, he reads the game well and organises the backline alongside his central defensive partners. His distribution has improved steadily within Thomas Frank's build-out-from-the-back system, though he remains a defender first and foremost.
Signed by Brentford from Barnsley in 2019 and became a key part of their promotion-winning and subsequent Premier League survival campaigns.
