Ethon Archer

Luton Town In September 2025, Archer signed for League One side Luton Town for a fee of £500,000 and immediately rejoined Cheltenham on loan. Robins manager Steve Cotterill said that he was "a great kid" and "I'll miss him being around that's for sure". He also said that Archer's "sweet half-volley" against Swindon Town in December was of such quality that it was a goal that "could win a World Cup final". Archer joined up with Jack Wilshere's Hatters squad for the first time from 3 January 2026 when his loan with Cheltenham ended. On 21 January, he joined Port Vale at the bottom of League One on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season, becoming new boss Jon Brady's first signing since taking over. On 16 April, he scored two goals from direct free kicks in a 3–1 victory at Peterborough United. He was deployed as an attacking midfielder and a central striker as the team struggled to play with wingers and were relegated at the end of the season.

In July 2026, he moved on a season-long loan to newly promoted League One club Bromley.

Style of play Archer was described by GloucestershireLive's Cheltenham Town reporter Jon Palmer as an "exciting" winger who was "fleet-footed and full of tricks... with a tendency to cut inside and fire shots at goal with his right foot", as well as hard-working and with a trait of scoring "spectacular" goals.
