Liam Vaughan Henry Fontaine[1] (born 7 January 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender.

Fontaine retired in 2024, having compiled a lengthy and successful career of over 550 appearances and honours such as the Scottish Cup with Hibernian.

[4] The loan spell was made permanent at the end of that season with Fontaine signing a two-year contract, with City having to pay Fulham an undisclosed fee through tribunal.

[5] A key member of the 2006–07 promotion team and flourished once more at Championship level, he became centre stage when his goal against Wolves in November left his manager Gary Johnson red-faced – having previously told his defender he would "bare my backside in Burton's window" if he found the net.

[9] He scored a goal in the March 2016 Scottish League Cup Final, which Hibs lost 2–1 to Ross County.

[15] County were relegated from the Premiership at the end of the 2017–18 season, but Fontaine helped them win promotion from the Scottish Championship in 2018–19.

[16] On 20 November 2020 after a trial period, Fontaine joined Scottish Championship side Dundee until the end of the season.

[25] Fontaine departed the club in January 2024, following Edinburgh City being docked points for failing to pay player wages.
