EX DEES CORNER: MARK FOTHERINGHAM

Mark in his Norwich City days.

Mark Fotheringham joined Dundee FC from Celtic in 2003 and was signed by the then Dundee boss Jim Duffy. A player that was so highly thought of at Celtic, he only managed to make a handful of games for the Parkhead club before making his move to Dundee. At Dundee he made over 50 appearances in his two year stay at Dens Park and helped Dundee to the Semi-Final of the CIS Insurance League Cup after scoring in the 2-1 win over Hearts at Dens Park in the Quarter Final. Unfortunately, he suffered the pain of relegation with Dundee as they were relegated from the SPL in May 2005. His stay at Dens was over though and in 2005 he joined German Bundesliga side SC Freiburg where he would make just 9 appearances. His short stay at Freiburg ended in 2006 and he then joined Swiss outfit, FC Aarau where he would make 13 appearances. 2007 saw a change of scenery and this time he was back in the UK with Norwich City. He made 69 appearances for the Canaries and scored 3 times. During his spell at Carrow Road, he was made club captain. After an alledged bust up with the then Canaries boss Brian Gunn, Mark left the club in April 2009 to pursue his footballing career elsewhere. After various trials and interest in him, Mark joined Dundee United on a three month deal. He had signed a contract to join Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta in January 2010 and so had a spare few months where he chose to sign up at Tannadice under Craig Levein. In January 2010, Mark joined Famagusta and to this day he still plays for them.
