Robert Steven Milsom (born 2 January 1987[1] in Redhill, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Aberdeen. He can play in central midfield or on the left wing, although he started his career as a left back.
Club career
Fulham
Milsom began his career as a youth player at Fulham before he was promoted to the reserve team. During the 2005–06 season he played regularly for the reserves and also captained the side on several occasions.
Milsom made his league debut for Fulham on 18 February 2009 in a 3–0 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United, coming on as a replacement for Danny Murphy.[2]
Loan spells
After failing to break into the Fulham first team, and in order to gain some experience, he spent a month on loan at then Football League Two side Brentford in the second half of the 2007–08 season where he played six times. He returned to Fulham to make his full debut as a late substitute in the Carling Cup against Burnley. He again went out on loan, this time to Southend, making a further six appearances.
In March 2010, Fulham reported that Milsom will be joining Finnish club Turun Palloseura on loan from 19 April to 30 August 2010.[3]
Aberdeen
Milsom signed for Aberdeen on the 13th January after a spell of 12 years contracted to Fulham.[4]
This news was met by some disappointment amongst Fulham fans who thought that Milsom could one day break into the Fulham first team.
