Joshua 'Josh' Philip Pritchard (born 23 September 1992) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a midfielder for Fulham.
Career
Pritchard was signed by Fulham in the summer of 2009 after being released by Manchester United.[2]
Tromsø (loan)
Pritchard signed for Tromsø in the Tippeligaen on a six-month loan deal in February 2013.[2] He made his debut on 17 March 2013, coming on as a 72nd minute substitute for Johansen in Tromsø's opening game of the 2013 Tippeligaen season against Sogndal.[3]
He also made several appearances for the team during the qualifying rounds of the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. On 22 August 2013, he scored the winning goal as Tromsø beat Beşiktaş 2-1 in the first leg of the Play-off round. As his loan was later extended to run until December 2013, he was able to play in the group stage of the tournament, and his appearance against English club Tottenham Hotspur drew attention from the English media.[4] Following the conclusion of the Tippeligaen, and Tromsø's relegation to the Adeccoligaen, Pritchard stated he wouldn't be moving to Norway permanently and that he would return to Fulham to fight for a first team place.[5] Pritchard returned to Fulham following the conclusion of the Tippeligaen, meaning he missed the remaining two Europa League matches, with Fulham keen to send him back out on loan.[6]
International
In August 2012, Pritchard was called up to the Wales Under 21 squad for the 2013 European Under-21 Championship qualifiers against Armenia[7] and Czech Republic.[8] Pritchard made his debut for the Welsh U21 side on 11 October 2013, in a 2-0 home victory over Lithuania.[9]
