Ryan William Fulton (born 23 May 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League One club Chesterfield, on loan from Premier League club Liverpool.

Club career

Liverpool

Fulton was born in Burnley, Lancashire[2] and has been at Liverpool since 2007, representing them at under-10 level and upwards. Towards the end of the 2013–14 season, he made progress into the Under-21 squad. He featured sporadically during the 2014–15 campaign but was a regular starter in the UEFA Youth League for under-19 teams.

He was first called up to the senior squad for their 2015 summer tour of Asia prior to the 2015–16 season. He was made Liverpool's third-choice keeper, behind Simon Mignolet and Ádám Bogdán, after fellow reserve shot stoppers Danny Ward and Lawrence Vigouroux were sent out on loan.

Loan to Portsmouth

In January 2016, Fulton emerged as a loan target for Portsmouth as well as Aberdeen.

On 22 January 2016, he was signed by Portsmouth on a one-month youth loan deal. He made his senior debut the following day in a 1–0 defeat to Oxford United, a game in which he saved a penalty from Liam Sercombe.[3]

Loan to Chesterfield

On 9 July 2016, he was signed by Chesterfield on a season long loan deal for the 2016–17 season, as cover for the injured first-choice goalkeeper Tommy Lee.[4]

International career

Although born in England, he has represented Scotland at under-16 and under-19 level, as well as receiving call ups to the under-21s.
