Tyrese Francois played for Fulham as a midfielder from 2013 until 2024. Having left Australia at an early age, he signed a scholarship deal with the club in 2016 before signing a professional deal the following year. He progressed to the first team, managing a handful of appearances.
Career [ ] Before Fulham [ ] Tyrese was born in Campbelltown, Australia before emigrating to England with his family. As a child, he played for Campbelltown Uniting Church Soccer Club and Camden Tigers.
Fulham (2013-2024) [ ] Having played for the U16 squad in 2016-17 , Tyrese signed a professional deal with Fulham on 1 August 2017. He initially spent the first half of 2017-18 with the U18 squad , but was later promoted to the U23 squad after some impressive displays.
He was further rewarded by spending pre-season with the first team squad in the summer of 2018 as they prepared for life in the Premier League after their promotion from the Championship . He made his first team debut the following season when coming on as a late substitute during a 1-0 loss at home to Southampton in the EFL Cup on 27 August 2019.
Tyrese made a further two appearances for the first team during 2020-21 , including his League debut as he came on as a second half substitute in the final Premier League match of the season against Newcastle United on 23 May 2021.
He enjoyed a strong pre-season under new manager Marco Silva in 2021 and started the first match of the 2021-22 season , playing 83 minutes of a 1-1 draw at home to Middlesbrough .
Tyrese headed to Uzbekistan in the summer of 2022 as he captained Australia 's U23 team in the AFC Asian Cup in which he helped them reach the Semi-final. After spending pre-season with the first team at Fulham , he headed out on loan to NHK Gorica in Croatia for the 2022-23 season .
After only a few minutes off the bench in two cup matches, he was loaned out on 1 February 2024, this time moving to Denmark to play for Vejle Boldklub for the remainder of 2023-24 .
Being deemed surplus to requirements under head coach Marco Silva , Tyrese was released after eight years with the club in the summer of 2024.
After Fulham [ ] Tyrese signed for League One side Wigan Athletic on 19 July 2024, days after his release from Fulham .
