Oliver Sanderson (born 30 December 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bradford City on loan from Fulham.

Career

[edit]

Born in Chichester,[1] Sanderson joined Fulham at under-9 level.[2] He had two loan spells at non-league Oxford City,[3] scoring on his debut on his first spell in September 2022.[4] He recalled by Fulham in January 2024,[5][6] moving on loan to Sutton United later that month.[2][7]

On 8 August 2024, he signed a new two-year deal with Fulham with the option for a further season.[8] Four days later, he joined League Two side Bradford City on a season-long loan.[9][10][11] He says he knew City player Kevin McDonald from his time at Fulham.[12] After making his Bradford debut as a substitute, he said he was pushing for a starting place.[13] After breaking into the first-team, he scored 3 goals in 4 games.[14] However, by October 2024 he was dropped from the starting XI due to competition in the squad,[15] with Bradford City manager Graham Alexander later denying there had been any falling out.[16]
