Fulham names Antonee Robinson 2023-24 Player of the Season

Robinson had a career year, and Fulham fans recognized the USMNT left back’s contributions

Antonee Robinson is heading into the Copa América on the back of some significant praise.

The U.S. men’s national team defender was on Thursday named Fulham’s Player of the Season for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.

Robinson appeared in 37 of Fulham’s 38 league matches this season, putting up a career-best seven assists. Robinson played the full 90 minutes in 18 of Fulham’s final 19 games, playing 1,698 consecutive minutes before being substituted in the 78th minute of the Cottagers’ final contest of the season.

Per WhoScored, Robinson lead all Premier League players with 80 interceptions (15 more than any other player), and was seventh in the entire division with 93 successful tackles this season.

Robinson’s success has sparked some discussion as to whether he might be a transfer target for bigger clubs. For his part, Robinson — after being named to WhoScored’s Team of the Year for 2023 — had a self-deprecating response to praise, posting a clown meme directed at himself to Instagram.

On Thursday, Fulham posted a video from Robinson thanking fans for voting for him.

“I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you so much to those of you who voted me as your Player of the season,” said Robinson. “Coming off the back of a year where so many of the lads had such strong seasons — it could have been anyone — it makes it that much more special for you to pick me.”
