Career[]

Before Fulham[]

Fulham (2020-2021)[]

Alphonse's loan move to Fulham was announced on 9 September 2020. The deal would see him at Craven Cottage for the duration of the 2020-21 season, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.

He was seen as an impressive capture for the club, and was always going to be the first team's number one during his tenure, which was perhaps a little harsh on the impressive Marek Rodák who had helped Fulham's promotion the previous season.

After 36 League matches which included a string of impressive performances and a total of nine clean sheets, Alphonse could still not prevent the Whites from relegation back to the Championship. However, he did win the Player of the Season award whilst at Craven Cottage.

After Fulham[]

Alphonse would stay in London following the end of his loan spell with Fulham as he joined West Ham United on a season-long loan for 2021-22.
