Adam le Fondre (born December 2, 1986 in Stockport, Cheshire), is an English football player. He began his career for Stockport County, where he progressed through the club's Centre of Excellence youth system. He made his debut against Bury in 2004, scoring the third goal in a 3-1 victory. On July 2, 2007 Rochdale agreed an undisclosed fee for le Fondre with Stockport, and signed a 3-year deal the day after [ [http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/rochdale/s/1010/1010442_lefondre_joins_dale.html Alfie signs a 3-year contract] ] .

His finest moment was when he scored 4 goals in a 5-2 win over Wrexham on September 16, 2006. Arguably Le Fondre's most memorable goal to date was his acrobatic overhead kick against Barnet on 27 October 2006, Stockport won the game 2-0. He grabbed a hat-trick for Rochdale in a 4-1 thrashing of Accrington Stanley, and claimed three match balls as he scored each goal with a different ball.

The ex-County striker has been on good form during Rochdale's Centenary season and is currently the Dale's top scorer with 17 goals to his name. He was involved in the penalty-shoot out against Darlington in the play-offs, as Dale won 5-4 to seal their place in Wembley Stadium, against his former club, Stockport County.
