Volatile Venezuelan defender Fernando Amorebieta arrived at Fulham on a free transfer from Athletic Bilbao in July 2013. He made his debut against West Brom that September and, in a career at Craven Cottage that was disrupted by injuries, suspensions and the managerial merry-go-round, made 48 appearances – scoring two goals. He spent time on loan at Middlesbrough, memorably scoring a vital away goal against Brentford in the Championship play-off semi-final, before being released in the summer of 2016.
