Ryan Marlowe Fredericks (born 10 October 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Premier League club AFC Bournemouth.

He has previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford, Millwall, Middlesbrough, Bristol City, Fulham and West Ham United.

Born in Hammersmith, London, Fredericks joined the Tottenham academy in July 2009.

Although he was injured early in his career, he progressed through the academy to sign a professional contract with the club in July 2010.

Fredericks first made Tottenham's first team squad as an unused substitute in February 2010, in an FA Cup fourth round replay win over Leeds United.

In July 2011, Fredericks was awarded a new contract at the club.

A year later, Fredericks started his first game for Tottenham on 25 August 2011, against Hearts, where he played on the right of midfield.

He made his debut alongside Tom Carroll and Harry Kane.

On 10 August 2012, he signed on loan for League One club Brentford.

He made his debut the following day in a 1–0 defeat against Walsall in the League Cup.

He made his league debut on 18 August, in a 0–0 draw against Bury.

He made his home debut on 22 September, in a 1–0 win against Oldham Athletic.

Tottenham exercised the right to recall Fredericks to the Tottenham squad on 25 October 2012.

Reflecting about his time at Brentford, Fredericks said the move benefited, as the player he is today.

Fredericks then made his first Tottenham Hotspur appearance in two years, making a start, in the last group stage game of Europa League, where he won a penalty to allow Roberto Soldado converted the penalty successfully to score a hat-trick, in a 4–1 win over Anzhi Makhachkala on 12 December 2013.

In January 2014, Fredericks signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur that would keep him at the club until 2016.

On 17 January 2014, he switched to Championship side Millwall for a three-month loan.

He made his début the following day, a home match against Ipswich Town, where he scored the only goal of the game with a lob from the right back position.

After two appearances, Fredericks' loan spell at Millwall was extended until the end of the season.

Fredericks became a first team regular at Millwall in the right-back position, making 14 appearances.

On 28 August 2014, Fredericks joined Middlesbrough for a season-long loan.

However, he remained on the sidelines until he was called up to the first team by manager Aitor Karanka following Damià Abella's injury.

His league debut came on 20 September 2014, where he played 90 minutes against former club Brentford and saw Middlesbrough win 4–0.

He suffered a thigh injury during a match against Blackburn Rovers, and was sidelined for a month.

He made his first appearance after returning from injury in a 1–0 win over Brentford on 31 January 2015.

After appearing six times in nine appearances between February and March, Fredericks suffered a hamstring injury, which he sustained during a match against Nottingham Forest on 7 March 2015.

After returning to training in early-April, Fredericks remained on the sidelines until 25 April 2015, playing the first hour of a 4–3 loss to Fulham.

Despite being sidelined, Fredericks went on to make 17 appearances for Middlesbrough before returning to his parent club.

On 6 August 2015, Fredericks joined Bristol City on a permanent transfer, signing a three-year contract, and was given the number twelve shirt ahead of the new season.

Fredericks stated the club's "open and attacking" football was his motivation for joining.

Fredericks made his Bristol City debut, in the opening game of the season, where he played as a right-midfield before switching to left-midfield, in a 2–0 loss away at Sheffield Wednesday.

However, after just twenty-six days at the club and making only five appearances in all competitions for the club, it was reported that Fredericks was on the verge of leaving Bristol City, citing personal reasons and that he would be returning to London to an unnamed side, which was later to be revealed as Fulham.

He joined Championship club Fulham on a three-year contract on 31 August 2015, with the fee undisclosed.

Fredericks made his Fulham debut, coming on as a substitute for Ben Pringle in the 62nd minute, in a 2–1 win against Blackburn Rovers on 13 September 2015.

He started out playing in the right–back position for the next two matches, before playing in the right–midfield position (whenever he came on as a substitute).

For the rest of the season, Fredericks continued to play in either the right–back position and right–midfield position.

Despite suffering injuries during the 2015–16 season Fredericks went on to make 36 appearances for Fulham in his first season.

In the 2016–17 season, Fredericks spent the start of the season with an ankle injury and was sidelined for between 10–12 weeks following surgery.

It wasn't until 18 October 2016 when he returned to the first team from injury, starting the match in the right–back position, in a 2–2 draw against Norwich City.

After returning from injury, he regained his first team place, in the right–back position.
