Clayton Alexander Fortune (born 10 November 1982) is an English football defender for Southern League Division One South & West club Hereford.
He spent the first six years of his career at Bristol City, between 2001 and 2006. He then began a two-year spell with Leyton Orient, before signing with Darlington in summer 2008. Between 2005 and 2007 he also enjoyed two lengthy loan spells with Port Vale. He spent the 2009–10 season with Weston-super-Mare, before returning to the Football League with Aldershot Town for the 2010–11 season. After leaving Clevedon Town he missed a season of football, he joined Mangotsfield United in June 2012, before switching to Chippenham Town four months later and then making a return to Clevedon Town. He returned to Weston-super-Mare as player-coach in June 2014, before joining Hereford in November 2016.
Fortune started his career with Tottenham Hotspur, but left for Bristol City, having never appeared for the former. Signing his first professional contract in March 2001, he made his debut on 4 December 2001, replacing Joe Burnell 82 minutes into a 2–1 win over Peterborough United in the Football League Trophy. He became a first regular for the first time in the 2004–05 season, as City finished one point outside the play-offs.
