Career

Previous to first-grade football, Fensom played for the Bellingen Dorrigo Magpies and gained representative honours in his youth and junior years with New South Wales Under 18's and New South Wales Country at the same age. He was the captain of Canberra in the 2008 season of the Toyota Cup and was the lock in their successful grand final. He was also named at loose-forward in the Toyota Cup team of the year in 2008.[1][2]

Fensom made his first-grade début for the Raiders in the 2009 NRL season, in a round 5 24-14 win at the Cronulla Sharks, where Fensom came on off the bench. He played the following round, again in an interchange role, in a 16-10 loss away to the Gold Coast Titans. In 2010, he scored his first try in the NRL in round 4 against the Wests Tigers. He is the current first choice lock for the Canberra Raiders.

Fensom is the current co-holder (with Nathan Hindmarsh) of the world record for the most tackles made in a single game: in Round 11 of the 2011 NRL season he made 75 tackles against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
