Thomas "Tom" Cairney (born 20 January 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Championship club Fulham. Born in England, he has played for Scotland at under-19 and under-21 level.

Club career

Born in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, Cairney was released from the Leeds United youth system at the age of 16 after being told he was too small. He had been with the club since the age of seven.[3]

Hull City

Hull City gave Cairney a chance when they signed him to a youth contract in 2007.[3] Cairney was named as Hull's Young Player of the Year for the 2008–09 season.[4]

2009–2010

He played for Hull against Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the pre-season Asia Trophy in Beijing on 31 July 2009. His first team debut came against Southend United in the League Cup on 25 August 2009, when he opened the scoring with a curling long-range effort as Hull won 3–1.[5][6] He went on to make his Premier League debut on 30 January 2010 in a 2–2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[7] On 7 March 2010, Cairney scored his first league goal for Hull in a 5–1 defeat against Everton, an impressive volley from outside the area.[8] Cairney signed a new three-year contract with the club on 31 March 2010.[9][10]

2010–2011

Following Hull's relegation, Cairney made 23 league appearances during the 2010–11 season. He scored one goal, a curling free kick against Norwich City that helped Hull to their first away victory in 30 games.[11]

2011–2012

Cairney made a total of 29 appearances for Hull in the 2011–12 season.[12]

2012–2013

Cairney sustained a serious knee injury in late August 2012, following a reckless tackle by Doncaster's James Husband in a League Cup tie. Steve Bruce later described the challenge as a "horror tackle".[13] After over three months out injured, Cairney returned to fitness in December 2012, appearing on the bench for Hull's away victory over Watford.[14] Cairney made his return the following week at home to Huddersfield coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for team-mate Corry Evans.[15]

Blackburn Rovers

2013–2014 (Blackburn Rovers loan)

Cairney playing for Blackburn Rovers in 2014

On 1 August 2013, Cairney joined Blackburn Rovers on loan until January.[16] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Derby County, as a 77th-minute substitute for Alex Marrow.[17] Two days later, Cairney made his full debut for the club in an eventful League Cup clash with Carlisle United, scoring one and providing one assist, before being sent off for the first time in his career after two bookable offences.[18] Cairney equalised for Blackburn in a 5–2 victory over. Barnsley on 24 August, opening his Championship account for the club.[19] After completing this permanent deal, Cairney scored his second league for Blackburn Rovers, both of them coming against Barnsley. After a successful first half of the season on loan, his move to Blackburn was made permanent on 2 January 2014. Cairney said: "I'm very pleased to sign permanently – that was a goal of mine when I came on loan in August."[20] Cairney rounded off his successful season when fans voted him Player of the Year 2013–2014.[21]

Fulham

Cairney signed for Fulham on 26 June 2015.[22] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on 15 August 2015.[23]

International career

He has a Scottish father and an English mother, meaning he is eligible to play for Scotland and England at international level. He has represented the Scotland national under-19 team.[24] Despite having played for Scotland at youth level, Cairney is still eligible to play for the England national team, and his Hull City captain George Boateng described him as being potentially a "huge asset to the national team of England".[25] However, Cairney committed himself to Scotland and made his debut for the Scotland under-21 side against Sweden on 11 August 2010.
