Liam James Rosenior (born 9 July 1984) is a professional footballer currently on loan at Ipswich Town from Reading in the English Football League Championship. He is the son of ex-Brentford manager Leroy Rosenior, and spent time on loan at Torquay United, where his father was manager, during their recent promotion season (2003–2004).
[edit] Club careerBorn in Wandsworth, London, Rosenior started his career with Bristol City as a promising midfielder. Arguably his best moment came when he scored the winner in a 2-0 victory for Bristol City against Carlisle United in the 2003 Football League Trophy Final at the Millennium Stadium. This would prove to be his last appearance for City as Fulham soon snapped him up. Rosenior soon became popular amongst Fulham fans due to his Afro hairstyle. During a match against Manchester City Rosenior made a seemingly impossible goal line clearance while the score was at 1-1, Fulham going on to win the game 2-1 with Steed Malbranque scoring in the last minute. Rosenior later told reporters that he was able to clear the ball in that manner due to his Afro hairstyle.[1] He signed a four-year extension to his Fulham contract in July 2006, but left Fulham for Reading on 31 August 2007 for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract, with Seol Ki-Hyeon going the other way.[2] His debut for Reading came in a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland on 15 September 2007,[3] and he scored his first goal for Reading in a 7-4 defeat to Portsmouth on 29 September 2007, although it was initially awarded to Stephen Hunt.[4] On 2 September Rosenior joined Ipswich Town on loan for the remainder of 2009-10 season. He scored his first goal for Ipswich against Barnsley on 3 October 2009.[5] [edit] International careerRosenior was called up to the England U21 squad in March 2005, and made his début in a 2-2 draw with Germany U21 on 25 March 2005,[6] closely followed by a second cap in a 2-0 win over Azerbaijan U21 on 29 March 2005[7] His performances earned him a call up to the England U20 squad for the Toulon Tournament in June 2005, where he played three times and scored one goal.[8] However, it would be over a year and a half before he would add to his England U21 caps, with the next one coming against Netherlands U21 on 14 November 2006.[9] Rosenior made it into the squad for the 2007 European U21 Championship, but only made one appearance, as a substitute in the semi final against Holland U21.[10] He took part in the epic shootout in this game, scoring his penalty as England lost 13-12. Due to his age, this would prove to be his seventh and last appearance for the England U21 team. He qualifies to play for Sierra Leone national football team through his father.
