Fulham FC’s youth academy has secured the promising Pakistani football talent Ruban Khan, a versatile central midfielder, on a full scholarship. Ruban initially joined Fulham in the summer of 2022 on a two-year schoolboy deal and has now solidified his future with the club through this scholarship, showcasing his potential and dedication.
Ruban, who plays a pivotal role in central midfield, has earned a reputation for his ability to dominate and navigate the central zones of the pitch in the defensive midfield role. His diverse heritage, with a Pakistani father and a Scottish mother, adds a unique dimension to his identity and football journey.
The 17-year-old made his debut for Fulham’s U18 squad while still representing the U16s, a significant milestone achieved in a challenging 5-2 defeat against Arsenal U18 on March 30, 2024.
Despite the loss, his performance highlighted his capability and readiness to compete at higher levels. Since then, he has made two appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, further establishing himself as a key player to watch in Fulham’s youth setup.
Fulham FC’s commitment to nurturing young talent is evident in their support for Ruban’s development. The club and its supporters eagerly anticipate his progression and the impact he will make in the coming seasons.
As the Pakistani-origin football player continues to hone his skills and gain experience, he stands as a testament to the club’s robust youth academy and its potential to produce future stars.
