Sonny Hilton played for Fulham's academy from 2016 until 2023, initially as an attacking midfielder then latterly a right winger. A creative player who loved to get forward and score goals, he was signed from Tranmere Rovers as a 15 year-old in the summer of 2016. He also played for England up to U19 level.

Career[]

Before Fulham[]

Sonny was born in Liverpool and played for Tranmere Rovers academy when his performances alerted scouts nationwide.

Fulham (2016-2023)[]

Sonny signed for Fulham's academy ahead of the 2016-17 season and joined up with the U16 squad. He also made his debut for the U18 squad and made four further appearances that season.

He signed a scholarship deal with the club on 1 July 2017 and spent all of 2017-18 with the U18's, also making one appearance for the U23 squad in their final match of the campaign.

He scored a hat-trick whilst captain for the U18's in October 2018 as Fulham ran out 7-0 winners against Reading U18.

He was sent on his first loan move on 20 April 2021 until 21 July 2021 for Finnish side TPS Turku. Upon his return, he became captain of the U23 squad during the 2021-22 season, and flourished on the right wing in a fantastic team which clinched the title in the Premier League 2 Division 2 to gain promotion.

Sonny's impressive 2021-22 campaign led him to be signed on loan to Carlisle United for the 2022-23 season. However, he struggled to force his way into the side and after only seven league appearances, his loan was terminated half-way through the season and returned to Fulham.

After Fulham[]

Sonny was released from the club in the summer of 2023. After a period of a few months without a club, he signed for Bootle in the eighth tier of English football on 27 October 2023. After playing out the season with them, he signed for National League North side Southport on 4 July 2024.

Trivia[]

Sonny is a black belt in Taekwondo, and finished fourth in the World Championships as a 13-year old in 2014.
