Club career

Falkirk

Fulton spent time with the youth systems of Celtic and Heart of Midlothian before finishing his development at Falkirk.[3] He made his first team debut aged 17 on 12 April 2011 as a substitute in Falkirk's 2–1 away win over Partick Thistle in the Scottish First Division.[4] He made one further appearance that season (a 2–0 home win over the same opponents).[5]

Swansea

Fulton signed for Welsh side Swansea City on 'transfer deadline day' of the 2014 January transfer window for an undisclosed fee, on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[6] On 26 April 2014, he made his Premier League debut as an 83rd-minute substitute in Swansea's 4–1 win over Aston Villa.[7] After an impressive end to the season Fulton was rewarded with a new four-year contract at Swansea, keeping him at the club until June 2018.[8] On 18 September 2015, he joined League One side Oldham Athletic on a three-month emergency loan deal.[9] He scored his first goal for Swansea in a 3–1 EFL Cup win against Peterborough United on 23 August 2016.[10] On 25 January 2018, Fulton joined Wigan Athletic on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[11] On 18 January 2021, he signed a new deal with Swansea, keeping him at the club until June 2024.[12]

On the 29 May 2021, Fulton was sent off in the 65th minute at Wembley during Swansea's eventual loss to Brentford in the 2020–21 EFL Championship play-off final.[13]

Personal life

Fulton is a third-generation footballer in his family. His grandfather Norrie Fulton played for Pollok and scored the winning goal in the 1981 Scottish Junior Cup Final.[14] His father is former Falkirk, Celtic and Heart of Midlothian player Steve Fulton;[15] he was born during his father's short spell in England with Bolton Wanderers. His brothers Dale and Tyler Fulton both played for Falkirk.[3]
