Originally a right-handed middle-order batsman, Fotheringham made his first-class debut for Natal B against Transvaal B in section B of the Currie Cup in December 1971, and in section A for Natal a month later in January 1972 against Rhodesia.[2] His List A debut came for Natal in February 1974, in a Gillette Cup match against Rhodesia.[3]
Fotheringham moved to Transvaal ahead of the 1978–79 season, where he moved up the order and formed a prolific opening partnership with Jimmy Cook in a period when Transvaal dominated South African domestic cricket, before returning to play for Natal for the 1989–90 season. His final appearance for Natal came in the Benson & Hedges Series in March 1990. He also played two Second XI Championship matches for Gloucestershire in 1977.[4] During his career Fotheringham scored 7,981 runs in the Currie Cup, the fifth-highest career runs total in the history of the tournament.[citation needed]
