Career[]

Before Fulham[]

Fulham (1998-2001)[]

Kit signed for Fulham in July 1998 on a free transfer from Manchester City. Considered a coup for the club, he quickly became a firm favourite in the heart of the Whites' defence alongside Chris Coleman as he helped the club become champions of the Second Division in 1998-99.

His playing time with Fulham was hindered somewhat as Andy Melville began to take his place alongside Coleman as first choice centre back throughout 1999-00 and the First Division championship winning season of 2000-01.

After Fulham[]

Kit played out the rest of his playing days at Crystal Palace after a move at the start of 2001-02. He played a part in their return to the Premier League in 2003-04 as they won the Play-off final. In his final season in 2004-05, his only playing time was with their reserve team as he did not make a single appearance with the first team.
