EA Sports Put 15-Year-Old Cancer Survivor into FIFA 17

EA Sports have played a nice touch by including 15-year-old cancer survivor Kenton Doust in FIFA 17.

The dedicated Vancouver Whitecaps supporter found out he had three brain tumours in 2015, but after 25 sessions of radiation and months of treatment, he found out he was cancer-free in May 2016.

Whitecaps captain Russell Teibert visited Kenton, sent him boots and a jersey while he was in hospital and was by his side when the youngster finally got the all-clear.

And EA Sports have since recognised Kenton's bravery by including him in their popular video game franchise, along with his very own 95-rated FIFA card.

Well played, EA, and well done, Kenton.
