De Fougerolles began playing soccer as a 5 year old with BHFC Battersea.[2] He moved to the youth academy of Fulham at the age of 8, and worked his way through their youth categories.[3] On 6 April 2023, he signed a professional contract with Fulham.[4] On 20 June 2023, he was named "Scholar of the Year" by Fulham.[5] He was called up to Fulham's senior team for their preseason in the summer of 2023.[6]

International career

Born in England, de Fougerolles is of Canadian descent through his Montreal-born father. He was called up to the Canada U20 side in April 2022, but the COVID-19 pandemic prevented him from joining the camp.[3]

In October 2023, de Fougerolles accepted a call-up to the senior Canada side ahead of a friendly against Japan in Niigata.[7]

Playing style

De Fougerolles is a versatile defender who can play as full-back, centre-back or midfielder. He is adept at 1v1 defending, with a strong first touch, explosive movement, and can progress the ball as a complete modern defender. He is very strong mentally, and composed in build-up play.[8]
