Early life
Fenton, whose mother is Hungarian and whose father is a postman, is named after Hungarian international Ferenc Puskás.
Club career
Fenton grew up in Tawa, playing for Tawa College and Tawa AFC before heading abroad for a brief stint in the Victorian Premier League with clubs St Albans Saints and Melbourne Knights. He lived during this time in Kings Park, in Melbourne's western suburbs, where he supported the Western Bulldogs Football Club. He scored on his senior professional debut in an A-League match against Sydney FC on 6 October 2012 with a spectacular diving header, courtesy of a Manny Muscat cross. Fenton made 10 starts for the Phoenix in 2013–14 before being sidelined for the year due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in a 3-1 away win to the Western Sydney Wanderers.
In September 2017, Fenton moved to Team Wellington.
