Ewan Roy Urain Aird (born 10 March 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bilbao Athletic. Born and raised in Spain, he has represented Scotland, his mother's birthplace, at under-21 level.

Club career

Urain was born in the Basque region of Spain to a Biscayan father and Scottish mother originally from Dumfriesshire.[1][2][3][4][5] He joined Athletic Bilbao in 2015 after a spell with hometown side SCD Durango.[6] He turned out for the club at under-16 and under-17 level before hitting 19 goals for the under-18 side. In 2018 he scored 13 goals for the club's farm team CD Basconia, based in Basauri.[7][1]

He began to feature regularly for the B team in the 2020–21 season (though interrupted by injuries)[7] as the side reached the play-offs for promotion to the second division, but lost in the last round.[8]

International career

Urain was called up by Scotland Under-21s in 2021 for matches with Northern Ireland.[1][9][10]

Style of play

Urain has been described as an old-fashioned striker making use of his height and strength,[7] and has been compared with former Athletic Bilbao player Fernando Llorente.[2]
