RBLZ Gaming have pulled off a huge signing ahead of the EA FC 26 season, securing Donovan “Tekkz” Hunt, one of the most decorated players in the scene.

The 24-year-old English pro has swapped Manchester City’s blue for RB Leipzig’s red and white, bringing with him a trophy cabinet that rivals just about anyone in competitive EA FC.

A Fresh Start in Leipzig

Tekkz has been at the top of the virtual football world since 2018, when he exploded onto the scene with The F2 and later picked up titles with Liverpool and Fnatic. He went on to lift the FIFA eClub World Cup in 2019, add multiple FUT Champions Cups to his name, and secure back-to-back ePremier League titles with Manchester City.

Now, after officially parting ways with City last week, he’s found a new home at RBLZ Gaming. You can catch the details of his departure in our coverage here.

RBLZ announced the signing on social media, welcoming Tekkz to Leipzig for the 2025/26 campaign. The deal runs until 2026, meaning fans will be seeing him represent the Red Bulls for at least the next two seasons.

More Than Just Trophies

It’s not only his on-pitch skills that make this a big pick-up. Tekkz is also a powerhouse when it comes to content creation. He’s closing in on a million YouTube subscribers, with hundreds of thousands more following him across X and Instagram.

In his announcement comments, he made it clear that Leipzig’s vision for both competition and content played a huge role in his decision to sign. “Leipzig laid out a clear plan for me and it really excited me. At this point in my career, it’s the best possible step forward,” he said.

He also hinted at being more present for his community, with plans to return to streaming and ramp up video content. For fans, that means more chances to see him outside of high-pressure tournament games.

Eyes on the FC Pro World Championship

Despite the content push, Tekkz’s competitive fire hasn’t cooled. He finished in the top 8 at the recent FC Pro World Championship but fell just short of the ultimate prize. His new goal with RBLZ Gaming is simple: to finally lift that title.

“I know I can play much better. I need to close games more consistently when I’m leading,” he admitted. “That will make the difference between the top 8 and winning the tournament.”

With RBLZ already boasting talents like Levy “levyfinn” Rieck and Guilherme “GuiBarros” Barros, who famously knocked Tekkz out of Worlds this year, Leipzig are stacking their roster for a serious run at 2026 glory.

The Bottom Line

RBLZ Gaming signing ePremier League champion Tekkz is one of the biggest moves of the off-season. It gives the Red Bulls a proven winner who’s hungry for more, while also boosting their reach through his massive fanbase.

For Tekkz, it’s a reset and a chance to push past his recent near-misses. And for fans, it’s another reason to keep an eye on Leipzig as the FC26 season kicks off.
