Tosin Adarabioyo

Tosin Adarabioyo, sometimes refered to as simply Tosin, is a centre back currently playing for Fulham. He was signed in October 2020 from Manchester City and has represented England up to U19 level.

Before Fulham
Tosin was born in Manchester and joined the Manchester City youth setup at the mere age of just 5. He eventually made his debut for their U18 squad at the age of 14, and earned a scholarship with the club. Upon turning 17 in 2014, he signed his first professional contract and captained their U18's to the FA Youth Cup final in 2014-15.

After making the first team bench on two occasions in the Champions' League, he made his professional debut in an FA Cup tie against Chelsea in February 2016 aged 18. After impressing manager Pep Guardiola, he was given a handful of first team outings in both 2016-17 and 2017-18, making a total of four appearances in the Champions' league and three appearances in the EFL Cup.

Tosin then went on to enjoy two successful loan spells in the Championship, first with West Bromwich Albion for the duration of the 2018-19 season, and then with Blackburn Rovers in the 2019-20 season.

Fulham (2020-present)
Tosin was signed on 5 October 2020 on transfer deadline day, from Manchester City for a fee thought to be in the region of £1.5 million plus add-ons. He made his debut a fortnight later in a 1-1 draw away at Sheffield United.

He enjoyed a strong defensive partnership throughout his first season with the club, alongside Danish loanee and captain Joachim Andersen, however they could not prevent Fulham from relegation back to the Championship for 2021-22. Despite a reported £10 million release clause on Tosin's contract and a possible move away in the summer of 2021, he commited to the cause for the season in a bid to help the club return once more to the Premier League for 2022.

He was sent off for the first time in his professional career on 30 October 2021, when late on during a 3-0 victory at home to West Brom, he lunged in a fairly dangerous challenge on his opponent with the referee determining it a straight red card. His first goal for the club then came shortly afterwards in a top of the table clash with Bournemouth, as he scored Fulham's only goal in a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, celebrating by mimicking opposing striker Dominic Solanke's bow-and-arrow celebration.

On 15 April 2022, Fulham had the oppertunity to earn promotion back to the Premier League if they won away at Derby County, however, an own goal by Tosin left them with a 2-1 defeat.
