Club Career

Brighton & Hove Albion

Fogden started his career at Brighton & Hove Albion in July 2004, breaking into the first-team in 2007 and making a total of 3 league appearances. Aged just 18, he discovered he had a tumour that was eating into his spine; Fogden underwent successful surgery shortly after and spent three months in a restrictive body cast before working his way back to fitness.

After being fully recovered from tumour, Fogden joined Dorchester Town on loan in early October 2007. After being recalled in December, he joined Bognor Regis Town in the same predicament in April 2008. Fogden made a combined total of 15 league appearances and scored 2 goals.

Dorchester Town

In August 2008 Fogden re-joined Dorchester Town, initially on loan, but the move was made permanent in the following month. He made 21 league appearances and scored 4 goals.

Havant & Waterlooville

Fogden's spell at Dorchester didn't last long and in February 2009 he joined Havant & Waterlooville. After scoring 29 goals in 105 league appearances, Fogden became a firm fan's favourite due to his consistent shining performances. Whilst at the club, he joined on a sports coaching and PE course at the University of Chichester. Fogden set a record by becoming the first Hawks player to not only win the Player of the Month award for the third month in a row, but also for accumulating a total of four awards across the nine given out through a single season.

AFC Bournemouth

On 6 October 2011, Fogden joined AFC Bournemouth on loan. On 23 February 2012 he signed a permanent three-and-a-half-year contract with the Cherries. In the following month Fogden scored the game's only goal against Brentford into the top left corner of the goal.
