Donovan ‘Tekkz’ Hunt, one of the biggest names in EA FC esports, has officially announced his departure from Man City Esports after two years with the organisation.
After 2 good years I will be leaving @mancityesports. Thanks to all the staff and especially @SaulAshon for the opportunity. Also a massive thank you to @Matiasbonanno9 @EduuCastellano @Zezinho23xX for everything that we’ve done these last 2 years. We managed to win 2/2 epremier… pic.twitter.com/mRikC4CLGP

The 24-year-old joined City in 2023 and wasted no time making history. Teaming up with Matias Bonanno, he became the first player to win back-to-back ePremier League titles, helping Manchester City become the first club to lift the trophy three times.

A Legacy of Success
Tekkz’s time with City wasn’t just about trophies. In his first season, he joined the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, where he worked with City in the Community programmes, visited Soccer Schools, and met young fans. He also appeared in plenty of content for Man City Esports’ social media channels, taking on creators, fans, and even City players in EA FC matches.
That preparation paid off. In 2024 and again in 2025, Tekkz and Bonanno beat Brighton & Hove Albion in the Grand Final to secure back-to-back ePremier League titles. It was a run that cemented Man City Esports as one of the top teams in EA FC competition, and confirmed Tekkz as one of the greatest players to ever touch the game.
He also represented the club at the Man City Abu Dhabi Cup, where fans got the chance to meet the two-time champion and pose with the trophy.
What’s Next for Tekkz?
With his contract now complete, Tekkz leaves Man City Esports with a record that few can match. Beyond his achievements in Manchester, he has a long list of accolades including the FIFA eClub World Cup title in 2019, making him one of the most decorated EA FC pros in the world.
His next move hasn’t yet been revealed, but with EA Sports FC 26 on the horizon and changes coming to the esports ecosystem, fans are eager to see where he lands before the new season begins.
Man City Esports released a statement thanking him for his contributions, noting that he created a lasting legacy both at the club and in the wider esports community.
Tekkz’s departure also follows Spanish player Ander ‘Neat’ Tobal leaving the roster earlier this week, signalling a period of change for the organisation heading into the 2025/26 season.
Whatever comes next, one thing is clear: Tekkz has left his mark on Man City Esports and the ePremier League, and fans will be watching closely to see where his journey continues.
