Patrick J. J. Roberts was only born on the 5th February 1997 making him only 17 years old and plays as a second striker or right winger.

Having joined Fulham from AFC Wimbledon at the age of 13, Roberts signed his first professional contract shortly after his 17th birthday in February 2014, tying himself to the club until the summer of 2016. Roberts described signing the contract as "one of the best feelings I've ever had in my life".

Roberts was named among Fulham's substitutes for the first time on 15th March 2014 for a Premier League game against Newcastle United, with Fulham manager Felix Magath describing Roberts after the match as "an extraordinary talent". On 22nd March 2014, he made his debut as a 55th minute substitute in a Premier League defeat to Manchester City. On 5th May, he scored in the second leg of the 2014 FA Youth Cup final, which Fulham lost 7–6 on aggregate to Chelsea. Roberts' first appearance of the 2014-2015 campaign came as a substitute in Fulham's opening day fixture at Ipswich Town on 9th August, with the 'English Messi' managing to grab an assist shortly after coming on. He made his first start for the Cottagers on 20th August 2014 in a home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Roberts has represented England at under-16 and under-17 levels. He played an integral role in England's victory at the 2014 European Under-17 Championship in Malta, scoring several impressive goals as well as grabbing a number of assists in the tournament.



Wonderful skills but not as good as Natasha's volley!
