Alfie Potter (born 9 January 1989) is an English footballer, currently playing for Peterborough United.

[edit] Career

Potter came through the youth team ranks at Peterborough United, after being released by Wimbledon at the age of 14,[1] then by Millwall aged 17. Prior to joining Peterborough he spent a few months at the Barking Abbey Centre for Football Excellence. He signed his first professional contract with the club on 1 June 2007, signing a one-year deal.[2]

He joined Grays Athletic for a month's loan in September 2007.[3] He made just one appearance, coming on as a substitute against Exeter City.

In November 2007 he made a loan move to Conference South side Havant & Waterlooville, for the rest of the season.[4] He played in Havant's 5–2 fourth round FA Cup defeat to Premier League side Liverpool on 26 January 2008. Potter played a big part in Havant's second goal to put Havant 2–1 ahead when his shot took a deflection off Martin Skrtel [5] For this feat, Potter was named "Player of the Round".[6]

In December 2007, he was offered at new two-and-a-half year deal by Peterborough, and, on 29 January 2008, he was recalled from his loan spell at Havant & Waterlooville.

On 29 February 2008, Potter was loaned to Isthmian League Premier Division side AFC Wimbledon, for a month.[7] He made his first appearances for the Posh in the League upon his return.
