Ryan Dominic Bertrand (born 5 August 1989] in Southwark, London, England) is an English footballer, currently with Chelsea. He is a fast, attacking left-back, converted from a winger. He was signed in July 2005 from Gillingham for an initial £125,000. The fee was set by a tribunal and is subject to increase depending on progress. [1] He played for England Under-17s, Under-19s and is now a member of the Under-21 squad.
During the 2006-07 season he was twice sent on loan to Bournemouth, at the same time as fellow Chelsea youngster Jack Cork. He suffered a ruptured spleen in a youth team game against Arsenal that ruled him out of the later part of that season.
In August 2007, Bertrand joined Oldham Athletic on loan until January 2008.[2]
He was selected for the England U19s team for their first round of qualifying matches for the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
On 4 January 2008, a matter of days after his spell at Oldham came to an end, Bertrand joined Norwich City on loan for the rest of the 2007/08 season.[3] He put in a number of impressive displays playing at both left full back and on the left wing, and admitted he would welcome a longer stay with the club.[4] On 4 July 2008 he rejoined the club on loan until January 2009 with an option to extend to the end of the season.[5]
