Career

[edit | edit source]

Fonguck played youth football for Crystal Palace before joining Combined Counties Football League side Croydon, for whom he made one league appearance.[4]

Fonguck joined Barnet as a second-year scholar for the 2014–15 season, and made his senior debut on 16 December 2014, starting in an FA Trophy replay against Concord Rangers.[5] He signed a one-year professional contract in June 2015.[6] He joined Hendon on loan in November 2015, for whom he made 13 appearances.[7] He made his Football League debut when he came on as a substitute against Crawley Town on the final day of the 2015–16 season.[8] On 20 January 2017, he joined Hampton & Richmond Borough on loan.[9] Fonguck left the Bees at the end of the 2018–19 season after turning down a new deal.[10] He went on trial at Telstar in July 2019.[11] Fonguck re-joined the Bees on a two-year deal on 6 September 2019.[12] In December 2020, he was ruled out for the remainder of the 2020–21 season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[13] On his departure from the club in July 2022, Fonguck had made 154 appearances for the Bees, scoring fifteen goals.[14]

In July 2024, Fonguck joined Ebbsfleet United on a two-year deal.[15] In January 2025, the club announced that he was to head out on loan for an eleven-month period in order to take up a playing opportunity in the United States.[16]

In January 2025, Ebbsfleet sent Fonguck to USL Championship club Monterey Bay FC on a season-long loan.[17]

International career

In September 2018, Fonguck was called up to the England C squad for their friendly the following month against Estonia U23. He would start for Paul Fairclough's side on his international debut and see out the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 win.[18]
