dbpprop:abstract
  • Christopher "Chris" Smalling is an English footballer, currently playing for Fulham. He plays in defence, mainly as a centre half. Smalling's rise to professional football saw him make the leap from schools football to Premier League level in one move. After failing to settle at any football league academy, Smalling opted to continue his education at Chatham Grammar School for Boys whilst playing for local non-league side Maidstone United. He was selected to represent his county (Kent), and the Kent Schools' Football Association then nominated him for trials for the English Schools' Football Association's Under 18 international squad. He was selected to represent the ESFA in the programme of fixtures in the Centenary Shield, including the game against Scotland Schools at Wembley in April 2008. Following his excellent performances for his country, he received offers from both Fulham and Middlesbrough. Despite initial reports that Smalling had signed for Middlesbrough he signed for the Fulham in June 2008. Before signing for Fulham, Smalling was planning his university application, with a course in Business and Management at Loughborough University in mind. He was made captain of the Fulham Development Squad by manager Billy McKinlay. Smalling's impressive progress at Club level caught the eye of England's U20 selectors this year and on April 2nd 2009 the defender played 45 minutes against Italy at Loftus Road. After his impressive second half performance for the Young Lions during their two-nil win over Italy, Smalling will be in contention for the squad which travels to the FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt in September. On 24 May 2009, Smalling made his Premier League debut for Fulham, replacing Aaron Hughes in the 77th minute in the final game of the 2008-09 season, a 2-0 loss to Everton. Teammate Aaron Hughes said of Smalling, "He's been one of the most improved players this year who haven't been on the pitch... He's big and strong and he's great at blocking shots. His improvement has come from his decision making. He's a lot more confident in training. " On 8 July 2009, Smalling earned a starting place in Fulham's first pre-season friendly of the 2009-10 season against Gold Coast United at Skilled Park, playing alongside John Pantsil at centre back. He said after the game, "It was really exciting when I heard that I was going to be starting, alongside Johnny [Pantsil]. We had a little chat and decided to keep things simple and I think it went quite well. " On 11 August 2009, Smalling made his England U21 debut in the friendly fixture against The Netherlands, coming on as a substitute in the 58th minute of a 0-0 draw.
