Fortnite player Jaden “Wolfiez” Ashman has become the UK’s latest esports star to earn coveted Red Bull athlete status. The 18-year-old, who is already one of the UK’s highest-earning esports players competing for Excel Esports, took the world of competitive Fortnite by storm when he finished second in the 2019 Fortnite World Cup and became one of the most successful UK esports players overnight at just 16 years old. Since then, he’s cemented himself as one of the biggest names and success stories in competitive Fortnite.
Wolfiez joins an array of top sporting talent that represent and work with the brand, including soccer stars Trent Alexander-Arnold, Neymar Jr, and F1 World Champion Max Verstappen. Call of Duty streamer Jukeyz also became a Red Bull athlete this time last year.
As part of the Red Bull brand, Wolfiez will get access to the support network that has helped athletes “level up their career, break records and make the history books.”
In a press release, Red Bull said the year ahead is set to be a landmark one for Fortnite – one of the most popular video games in the world – as well as UK esports, with rumors of the anticipated Fortnite World Cup revival alongside the recent news of the esports pilot at this summer’s Commonwealth Games.
