Alfons Fosu-Mensah (born 4 March 1994), previously known as Alfons Agbolosoo,[1][2] is a Dutch footballer who plays as a forward for Llandudno.[2]

Career

Fosu-Mensah's youth career began with Zeeburgia, before he had spells with AFC, Argon and Almere City.[3][4][5] After leaving Almere City, he had a trial with Eerste Divisie club Oss in 2014 which led to him signing a contract with the team, originally as an amateur before signing a professional deal soon after.[4][6] He made his professional football debut on 31 January 2015 versus De Graafschap. Fosu-Mensah made six more appearances in the league for Oss before departing.[2] Upon leaving Oss, he also left Dutch football and moved to the UK to join his brother Timothy and agreed to sign for English National League side Southport.[4]

After only a few months with Southport, he left to join Northern Premier League Premier Division team Colwyn Bay but his spell with them lasted just months again.[2][7] Further spells with Ashton United, Skelmersdale United and North Ferriby United then followed.[8] On 1 February 2017, Fosu-Mensah joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Hednesford Town.[9] His debut came on 5 February in a 1–1 draw against Barwell.[10] After three appearances for Hednesford, Fosu-Mensah departed to join fellow NPL Premier Division team Marine on 3 March.[11][12] He scored twice in nine matches for Marine.[12]

In August 2017, Fosu-Mensah joined Welsh Cymru Alliance club Airbus UK Broughton.[13] He made his debut on 22 August, coming on as a substitute against Gresford Athletic.[13][14] On the following Saturday, Fosu-Mensah scored a hat-trick in his first start for Airbus UK versus Holywell Town in a 2–5 win.[15] During a run of ten goals in his first eight matches for Airbus UK, he signed a new contract with the club on 21 September.[16] He departed on 30 May 2018, after twenty goals in thirty-one fixtures in all competitions for Airbus UK.[17]

In August 2018, Fosu-Mensah signed with Welsh Premier League side Llandudno.[18] Weeks after signing for Llandudno, Fosu-Mensah was loaned out to Denbigh Town of the Cymru Alliance, before returning to his parent club in September, having scored three goals in all appearances whilst at Denbigh.[19]

Personal life

He is the brother of fellow footballer Timothy Fosu-Mensah.[7]
