Alfie Mawson

Alfie Mawson played for Fulham from 2018 until 2022. A ball playing centre back, he joined the club for £15 million from Swansea City in August 2018. He was called up to the full England squad in March 2018, though failed to earn a cap.

Fulham (2018-2022)
Alfie officially joined after much speculation on 2 August 2018 for a reported fee of £15 million. Initially recoving from an injury, he made his debut in a 2-0 win in the EFL Cup against Exeter City in late August, before his League debut several days later away at Brighton in a 2-2 draw.

Alfie struggled with injuries during his debut season with the club and was kept out for most of the remainder of the season after Christmas following a knee problem which was widely reported at the time as being a freak injury, sustained by putting his boots on. He returned to participate in the last few matches of the 2018-19 season.

He managed 28 appearances in the 2019-20 season, and was once again injured in the latter part of the season and replaced by Michael Hector in the heart of defence. After the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, he returned to the matchday squad via the substitutes' bench but failed to make an appearance.

On 6 September 2020, he was loaned to Bristol City in the Championship for the entirety of the 2020-21 season. Unfortunately for Alfie, he injured his knee badly just over a month into his loan and underwent surgery shortly afterwards. However, he recovered well once more and returned to playing shortly after the new year in 2021.

He made a return to the first team squad in 2021-22 under new head coach Marco Silva, and made his first League start for nearly two years in a calamatous 4-1 loss away at Coventry City on 2 October 2021.

After failing to break into Marco Silva's first team on a full term basis, Alfie was one of a number of playres released by the club in the summer of 2022.
