Playing career

Etete came through the youth team at Notts County and made his senior debut for the 'Magpies' in a group stage match of the EFL Trophy against Newcastle United U21 on 9 October 2018, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for fellow youth-team player Tyreece Kennedy-Williams. He made his EFL League Two debut on 3 November, replacing Kristian Dennis 73 minutes into a 2–2 draw with Port Vale at Vale Park; after the game he said "I was nervous because it was a big occasion and I just wanted to keep my head on the game".[4] Manager Harry Kewell said that "Kion was excellent".[5]

In 2019, Etete underwent a trial at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring twice in an U18 game against West Ham United.[6][7] On 7 June 2019, County announced that Etete had officially joined Tottenham.[8]

At the start of August 2021, Etete signed a new contract with Tottenham until 2023 and went out on loan to Northampton Town for the 2021–22 season.[9] He made his Northampton debut in the Carabao Cup on 11 August 2021, scoring twice against Coventry City in a 2-1 win.[10]

He scored his first league goal on 19 October 2021 in a 3–0 home win against Stevenage.

In January 2022, after being recalled from his loan, he moved to League One side Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season.[11]
