CHRIS SMALLING

England, Manchester United, Fulham, Maidstone United

Chris registered with Football CV in April 2006, when playing for non-league club Maidstone. Smalling’s performances at the non-league club attracted many scouts and Premiership side Fulham had him watched six times in the space of four weeks he was handed a chance in a reserve team game. Within 15 minutes Fulham Manager Roy Hodgson, watching on the sidelines, had seen enough and offered him a professional contract.

Since then, Chris has been transferred to Premiership Champions Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of £10m, and has secured his place in the 1st team squad under Sir Alex Ferguson and is a regular in the senior England national team.
