Fnatic has announced the re-signing of VALORANT player Jake ‘Boaster’ Howlett for the 2026 VCT season.
The British in-game leader (IGL) has been with the organisation since early 2021 and most recently recorded a second-place finish with Fnatic at VALORANT Champions 2025.
“Be very afraid. Because I’m back, baby! Woooo! One more, let’s go,” shared Boaster in the official announcement video.
Boaster was formerly a professional Counter-Strike and League of Legends player before transitioning to VALORANT in 2020.
Since then, he has established himself as one of the most accomplished IGLs in the scene, widely recognised for his leadership skills as well as his ability to adapt to shifting metas and Fnatic rosters.
