After coming through the ranks of the Fulham academy, the Welsh youth international made the switch to Leicester in 2019 and proceeded to become a consistent performer for the Foxes development side, Making ten appearances in the Premier League 2 prior to his switch to men’s football.
Following his arrival, Ewing said: "I'm really happy to get started. I've met the gaffer and the lads and there's a good feel around the place. It's a massive club, and I'm here to help the club try and get back to where it belongs.
"In men's football, you have to win games, and I got that from my time at Buxton last year. That's what I want to do, and hopefully I can carry that on with this club. I always give 100 per cent. I'm a technical player, I like to get on the ball, create chances and score goals. Hopefully I can excite the fans, and win games."
