Player description

Konchesky signed a four year deal with the Whites during the summer of 2007 and was one of Fulham’s most consistent performers during his inaugural season at Craven Cottage.

As a youngster the left back developed at West Ham’s Academy before switching to Charlton where he made his first team debut before his 17th birthday. Konchesky spent several years with the Addicks, which included at brief loan spell at White Hart Lane, before his move back to West Ham in 2005.

Konchesky enjoyed a successful first season with Hammers, helping them reach ninth place in the league and scored in the 2006 FA Cup Final against Liverpool at the Millenium Stadium. After an unhappy second season at Upton Park the defender moved to Fulham and his performances last season impressed fans and pundits alike.

On the international stage Konchesky made 15 appearances for England-U21s before making his senior debut against Australia in 2003. The Barking-born defender will be looking to continue the outstanding form he showed last season, combining his defensive duties with a fine attacking instinct on the flank.

Following Roy hodgson moving on to manage Liverpool Paul signed a four year contract with Liverpool on 31 August 2010
