Captured and shared in an emotional video, Wolves Head of Marketing, Russell Jones made the offer to Ebinho following his part in qualification to the FIFA eClub World Cup.
Ebinho and fellow Brazilian Wolves Esports player, Flavio Brito, topped their South American qualification group earlier this month and will travel to London to compete in the finals in February.
In the video, which has already been viewed more than 40,000 times on @WolvesEsports, Flavio helps to translate the news to Ebinho who is visibly moved with the offer to become part of the team.
Russell Jones said: “We are delighted to have signed two of the most talented FIFA players in Brazil. It was quite emotional seeing how moved Ebinho was with the offer. It just shows that dreams can come true if you work hard.”
Ebinho will now team up with Flavio and the club’s UK player, Torin Page, to compete in a variety of tournaments on behalf of the football club.
