Malik Maine Mothersille (born 23 October 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Peterborough United.

Club career

Early career

Born in London, Mothersille began his career in the academy of Leyton Orient. In January 2020, it was reported that Leyton Orient had agreed a deal with Premier League side Chelsea for Mothersille to join as a scholar the following season.[2] This was confirmed by Chelsea in July 2020, when Mothersille was announced among the new scholars for the 2020–21 season.[3] However, having failed to establish himself in Chelsea's under-18 team, making only one substitute appearance, he was loaned to Derby County to feature for their youth sides on 1 February 2021.[4]

The following season proved more successful at Chelsea for Mothersille; having scored consecutive braces in the EFL Trophy against former side Leyton Orient and Peterborough United, Mothersille was called up to Chelsea's first team squad for a mid-season, warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi, and he featured as a substitute in Chelsea's 1–0 friendly loss to Aston Villa - his first and only appearance for the club.[5]

With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2022–23 season, it was reported by the Evening Standard that Mothersille was close to agreeing a new deal with Chelsea in January 2023.[6] However, by May, he had still not accepted Chelsea's offer,[7] and in August, with his contract having expired, he went on trial with fellow Premier League side Everton.[8]

Peterborough United

On 2 September 2023, League One side Peterborough United announced that they had signed Mothersille on transfer deadline day, with an undisclosed compensation fee being agreed with Chelsea.[9][10]

International career

Malik is eligible to play for England or Jamaica.
