UK esports organisation Excel Esports have signed 14-year-old up and coming streamer Jackson ‘Rezhexx’ Bradbury as their newest Fortnite content creator.
Following the British youngster beating Excel’s professional Fortnite player Jaden ‘Wolfiez’ Ashman at an open tournament at the Excel stand at Insomnia 68 in April, Excel decided to sign Rezhexx shortly after.
Rezhexx joins Excel as a content creator, where he will film Fortnite gameplay, tips and tricks and see him competing in upcoming tournaments. He will also be creating daily content around life on the coast in Cornwall and his other passion in life, surfing.
He’s also the son of former Gadget Show host, tech and media personality Jason Bradbury, who said he was the ‘proudest dad ever’ after seeing this announcement.
A lover of gaming and Fortnite in particular, Rezhexx began creating content during the pandemic lockdown on his mobile phone for his group of friends and also sharing clips on Instagram. He then began playing Fortnite live on Twitch (see Rezhexx’s channel here) and his follower count continues to grow. It currently stands at 22,400 followers.
The signing follows a string of heavyweight content creator signings for Excel including League of Legends caster and creator Marc Robert ‘Caedrel’ Lamont and variety streamer Leah ‘Leah’ Leahviathan.
Rezhexx commented: “I’m really excited to be joining Excel as their newest content creator. I’ve been following the team closely over the last few years and believe their players and style are some of the best.
“I really like the way Excel’s content creators edit their videos and believe I can learn a lot from Wolfiez, Leah and Caedrel.”

Excel Esports talent manager Freeman Williams added: “We’re thrilled to announce Rezhexx as our newest content creator. Signing Jackson was an easy decision – he’s clearly very skilled at Fortnite, constantly on the lookout for content to capture, and this is all mixed in with a keen can-do attitude – which we love to see.
“At Excel, we want to provide a home for all types of content creators. You can be a micro-influencer or a big-time creator; it doesn’t matter. All you need to possess is a great attitude, a clear path of progression and a personality that matches Excel and our aspirations – and we believe Rezhexx is a perfect fit.
“Excel and everyone should invest in young content creators because we need to develop the grassroots level of esports.”
The news comes after Excel Esports announced management changes at their London XL HQ launch party.
