Career
[edit]Stockport County
[edit]Born inStockport,Greater Manchester,[2]Le Fondre began his career atStockport County,where he progressed through the club's Centre of Excellence youth system. He made his debut againstBuryin 2004, scoring the third goal in a 3–1 victory.
Rochdale
[edit]Le Fondre joinedRochdaleon loan from Stockport during the 2007 January transfer window, scoring twice on his debut in the 5–0 defeat ofMK Dons.Earlier that term, he scored four goals in one game for County as they beatWrexham5–2.
Having impressed everyone at the club during his loan spell, manager Keith Hill made Le Fondre's move permanent in the summer, and on 2 July 2007,Rochdaleagreed an undisclosed fee for Le Fondre with Stockport, and signed a three-year deal the day after.[4]
He featured in every game as the side made it all the way to the Wembley Play Off Final at the end of a season where he was the club's leading marksman. He continued his form into the 2008–09 season and finished the season as leading scorer with 21 goals and a series of Player of the Season awards.
Rotherham United
[edit]2009–10 season
[edit]On 8 August 2009,Rotherham Unitedagreed a fee with Rochdale for the striker, but the deal was thought to have fallen through due to Le Fondre wanting a longer contract. However, on 11 August, Le Fondre signed for the club on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[5]
I needed a new challenge, with a progressive club that had high ambitions and in Rotherham I've found the perfect club to open a new chapter of my career with. It was hard to leave Rochdale in the sense that I have left a lot of friends and the fans behind, but when a team with so much ambition like Rotherham comes in for you it is an opportunity you have got to take.
Le Fondre made his first start in a 2–1 victory atGrimsby Townin August, opening the scoring from the penalty spot. He scored again on hishomedebut, which came against former club Rochdale. His workrate and obvious talent endeared him to the Rotherham faithful and he quickly became a huge fans favourite. Le Fondre was nominated for theLeague TwoPlayer of the Month award four times throughout the course of the2009/10 season(August,[7]September,[8]November[9]and February[10]) though he failed to win the award and, was named in thePFA League Two Team of the Year,alongside fellow Rotherham playersIan SharpsandNicky Law Jnr,as Rotherham finishedfifth in Football League Twoand qualified for theplayoffs.Le Fondre scored once in each leg of the semi-finals againstAldershot Townas Rotherham ran out 3–0 winners on aggregate, before they lost 3–2 in thefinalagainstDagenham & Redbridge.Le Fondre finished the season with 30 goals and was linked with moves toChampionshipclubsDerby CountyandLeicester City,though Rotherham denied a deal had been agreed with either club.[11]
