Manchester City sign esports player Marcus Jorgensen

Manchester City have announced that they have added a second esports player to their ranks, with Marcus Jorgensen joining the club.

Earlier this year, Kieran Brown agreed a deal with City and represents the club in Xbox tournaments, and latest addition Jorgensen will be a dedicated PS4 player for the North-West outfit.

The 18-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm extremely happy to be stepping into the next chapter of my esports career with Manchester City.

"2017 represented such a successful season for me and I have the drive and ambition to take my game to the next level."

Jorgensen this year became the first champion of the FIFA Interactive Club World Cup.

City have revealed that his first tournament in the club's colours will be the FUT Champions Cup, which takes place in Barcelona on January 26 to January 28.
