Marlon Joseph Fossey (born November 9, 1998) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a right-back for Belgian First Division A club Standard Liège.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Fossey moved to his mother's birthplace, the island of Jersey, with his family at age 4.[2] At age 11, he moved to England.[3] As a result, he holds dual American and British citizenships.[2]
Fossey began his youth career with Fulham at the age of 11[2] after being spotted by a club scout while playing in a youth tournament in Jersey,[4] however his youth career was marred by injury.[3] He moved on loan to Shrewsbury Town in August 2020.[5] [6] He made his debut for The Shrews on September 4, coming on as an 81st minute substitution for Donald Love in a 4–3 away defeat at Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup.[7] On December 29, 2020, it was announced that his loan deal had ended.[8]
He signed a new two-year contract with Fulham in June 2021.[9] On January 3, 2022, Fossey joined Bolton Wanderers on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[10] [11] He turned down an offer from Inter Miami, preferring to sign for Bolton on loan instead.[12] On March 18 it was confirmed that Fossey had returned to Fulham after a torn meniscus in his left knee, that he suffered the previous weekend against Plymouth Argyle, had ended his season.[13]
In September 2022 he signed for Belgian club Standard Liège.[14] [15]
Fossey has represented the United States at under-20 youth level.[5] He also holds UK citizenship.[2]
