[edit] Playing career
Fortune started his career with Spurs, but left for Bristol City in August 2000, having never appeared for the first team. He spent the next six years at City, making just over 50 appearances. He had a long-term loan spell with Port Vale from November 2005[1] to the end of the season,[2] Vale planned to buy Fortune in April 2006. A five-figure fee was agreed with City,[3] however the deal fell through as he rejected personal terms with the club.[4] Instead he transferred to Leyton Orient in August 2006,[5] unwanted at City.[6] By November 2006, he found himself back at Vale Park, again on loan until the end of the season.[7][8] The 2007-08 season was spent with Orient, however he missed much of it due to dislocated shoulder[9] and was released upon its conclusion,[10] allowing him to sign with League Two Darlington.[11][12] He spent November 2008 at Conference side Rushden & Diamonds,[13] making just he once appearances before returning to Darlington. Fortune signed for Conference South side Weston-super-Mare in July 2009.[14]
