Macclesfield FC released a statement Wednesday announcing McLeod's death. In it, the team paid tribute to McLeod, calling him "an incredibly talented and well-respected member" of the club.

The team explained that McLeod was involved in a car accident on his way back from Bedford Town on Tuesday. The club played against National League North on Tuesday, winning 2-1. McLeod was a substitute for the match.

The team sent support to McLeod's family and friends at the end of its statement.

News of Ethan’s passing has devastated our entire Club and no words can convey the immense sense of sadness and loss that we feel now.

The deep mental scars elicited from Ethan’s passing will undeniably never heal - but one thing is for sure, and that is Ethan’s vibrant legacy will never fade, no matter how much time passes in the future.

Ethan will live in our hearts and minds forevermore and no matter what the future holds, his unique smile that mesmerised us all will never be forgotten.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ethan’s family and friends at this deeply traumatic time, together with an assurance that we will provide as much support as we can to those who need it.

McLeod joined Macclesfield FC in July. He appeared in seven games with the club, scoring three goals.

Prior to joining Macclesfield, McLeod "rose through the ranks at Wolverhampton Wanderers, spending 10 years in the Premier League Club’s Academy," per the team's website.

McLeod played for the Wolves in the Premier League Club's Academy. The team announced it will hold a moment of silence for McLeod ahead of Saturday's game with Brentford.

Macclesfield FC's next game is scheduled for Saturday. The club has not announced its plans for the contest.
