Kingsley Fobi (born 20 September 1998) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a right back.
Fobi was born in Cape Coast and started his career in the Right to Dream Academy, before agreeing to a deal Udinese in January 2016; he was subsequently assigned to Granada CF.[1] He made his senior debut with Granada's B-team on 28 January 2017, coming on as a late substitute for Sergio Peña in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against Mérida AD.[2]
Fobi had his federative rights assigned to Watford in 2017,[3] being subsequently loaned to SD Formentera in the third division on 26 July of that year.[4] Loans to UD Ibiza[5] and CD Badajoz[6] followed, but he featured sparingly for both sides before leaving Watford in 2020 without making a competitive appearance for the club.
On 19 August 2020, Fobi returned to Granada and their B-side, after agreeing to a two-year contract.[7] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 8 November, replacing Kenedy at half-time in a 0–2 away loss against Real Sociedad, as his side was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
Fobi represented Ghana at under-20 and under-23 levels, playing for the former in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[3]
