Oliver Sanderson (born 30 December 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Woking, on loan from Fulham.

Beginning his career with Fulham, Sanderson has spent time on loan at Oxford City, Sutton United, Bradford City, Harrogate Town and Woking.

Career

Born in Chichester,[1] Sanderson joined Fulham at under-9 level.[2] He had two loan spells at non-league Oxford City,[3] scoring on his debut on his first spell in September 2022.[4] He recalled by Fulham in January 2024,[5][6] moving on loan to Sutton United later that month.[2][7]

On 8 August 2024, he signed a new two-year deal with Fulham with the option for a further season.[8] Four days later, he joined League Two side Bradford City on a season-long loan.[9][10][11] He says he knew City player Kevin McDonald from his time at Fulham.[12] After making his Bradford debut as a substitute, he said he was pushing for a starting place.[13] After breaking into the first-team, he scored 3 goals in 4 games.[14] However, by October 2024 he was dropped from the starting XI due to competition in the squad,[15] with Bradford City manager Graham Alexander later denying there had been any falling out.[16] Sanderson's loan was terminated nay Bradford City in January 2025.[17] Alexander later apologised for mis-managing Sanderson at Bradford City.[18]

Later that month, he signed on loan for Harrogate Town.[19][20]

On 8 August 2025, Sanderson joined National League club Woking on a season-long loan.[21]
