Ben Foster Biography

Ben Foster is one of the most popular and richest Soccer Player who was born on April 3, 1983 in Boston, MA, England, United Kingdom. Goalkeeper who joined West Bromwich Albion in 2012 after previously playing for such teams as Manchester United, Birmingham City and Stoke City. He became a member of the English national team in 2007.

He became teammates with star forward Wayne Rooney on both Manchester United and the English national team.

Foster began his professional career in 2001 with Stoke City, having joined from Racing Club Warwick. However, he never made an appearance for Stoke, and spent time on loan with Bristol City, Tiverton Town, Stafford Rangers, Kidderminster Harriers and Wrexham. He switched permanently to Manchester United in July 2005, but again struggled to break into the first team, and he spent two successive seasons on loan to Watford from August 2005 until the end of the 2006–07 season. Having played just 23 times for Manchester United (although he also played in the League Cup-winning teams of 2009 and 2010), Foster switched to Birmingham City in May 2010. An ever-present in the league for Birmingham, Foster was also part of the Birmingham team that won the 2011 League Cup; he made a total of 43 appearances in that season. Following Birmingham’s relegation to the Championship at the end of the season, Foster was loaned to West Bromwich Albion, and moved there permanently in June 2012. Foster returned to Watford in July 2018.

Born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Foster started his football career as a youngster at Racing Club Warwick of the Southern League Division One West. He became their first-choice goalkeeper in December 2000, and in April 2001 he turned professional with Division Two club Stoke City after being spotted by scout Colin Dobson. He signed a one-year contract with an option for a further two years; the “five-figure” fee was undisclosed, and RC Warwick would benefit from the inclusion of a sell-on clause. During his time at Stoke, Foster had loan spells at Bristol City, Tiverton Town, Stafford Rangers, Kidderminster Harriers and Wrexham. Foster sustained a cruciate ligament injury in June 2003 while playing tennis with his brother, which sidelined him for a period of six months. After his recovery, Foster was awarded the number 14 shirt and received his maiden call up to the Potters’ first team for a First Division match versus Wimbledon on 17 January 2004. He remained on the bench for the 1–0 victory and was an unused substitute on a further six occasions during the remainder of the 2003–04 season. Foster was called into the first team squad for four matches during the 2004–05 season.

He was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England.
