Career

Brighton & Hove Albion

Fenelon began his career with Brighton & Hove Albion and after scoring 20 goals for the clubs youth team in the 2011–12 season he signed a professional contract in May 2012.[2]

In May 2013, Fenelon was then given a one-year contract with the club.[3] While on loan at Torquay United, Fenelon signed a further contract extension with the club, that will keep him until 2015.[4]

After a loan spell from Torquay United, Fenelon made his Brighton & Hove Albion debut, where he made his first start, in the opening game of the season, which Brighton & Hove Albion lose 1–0 against Sheffield Wednesday.[5] Fenelon made two appearance for the club: One in the league and another in the first round of the Capital One Cup.

Loan Spells

He had a successful loan spell with Conference South side Tonbridge Angels in November 2013.[6][7]

On 11 January 2014, Fenelon joined Football League Two side Torquay United on loan.[8] He made his Football League debut on 25 January 2014 in a 1–0 defeat against Oxford United.[9] After making two appearance, Fenelon loan spell with Brighton was extended for another one month.[10] He scored his first goal on 15 February 2014 in a 3–1 defeat away at Chesterfield.[11] On 11 March 2014, Fenelon extended his loan spell with the Gulls further until the end of the 2013–14 season.[12] On 22 March 2014, Fenelon was sent-off after making contact with his elbow on the opposition's captain Michael Flynn, in a 1–0 loss against Newport County.[13] After the match, the club appealed for Fenelon's sending off, as the club's assistant manager Lee Hodges believed that the referee's decision was wrong citing, "both players have got arms in the air flailing."[14][15] However, the appeal was rejected and would have to serve his three match ban.[16] After his return from suspension, Fenelon was unable to help the club survive relegation, as Torquay United drop down to the Football Conference, making twelve appearance and scoring once. Despite unable to help the club survive the relegation, Fenelon stated that the loan spell at Torquay United helped him progress and his maturity.[17]

On 29 August 2014, Fenelon joined Football League One side Rochdale on a season long loan.[18] The next day, Fenelon made his debut for the club, where he came on as a substitute for Matt Done in the second half, in a 2–0 win over Bradford City.[19] After making four appearance for the club, it announced on 9 October 2014 that Fenelon loan spell with Rochdale ended after being recalled by his parent club.[20]

After returning to Brighton & Hove Albion, Fenelon went out on loan again by joining Football League Two side Tranmere Rovers until January 2015.[21] He made his Tranmere Rovers debut, the next day, as they lost 2–1 to Southend United.[22] The next game, on 29 November 2014, Fenelon scored his first goal for the club, in a 3–1 win over Tranmere Rovers.[23] Fenelon returned from Tranmere on 2 February 2015.[24]

In February 2015, he was sent on loan to Football League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge in a one-month deal.[25] He made his debut for the club in a 21 league defeat to Mansfield Town, replacing Alex Jakubiak as a substitute.
