Philippe Sylvain Senderos (born 14 February 1985) is a Swiss professional footballer who currently plays as a central defender for Rangers and the Switzerland national team.
He began his career at Servette, before moving to England as a teenager with Arsenal. He became a regular at Arsenal and won the FA Cup in 2005, and was loaned to Milan and Everton later on in his time at the club. He then moved to Fulham on a free transfer in 2010 and spent a brief spell in Spain at Valencia, before signing for Aston Villa in 2014. In January 2016, he returned to Switzerland to join Grasshoppers, before signing for Scottish club Rangers in August 2016.
A full Swiss international since 2005, Senderos has won 57 caps and scored 5 international goals. He was included in the Swiss squads for three World Cups and Euro 2008.
Senderos came up through the youth team set up at Swiss club Servette. After a few appearances in his first season, he soon became a regular player in the first team. On 27 July 2002, Senderos scored a brace (and his first goal) in a 2–0 win over Luzern. Senderos signed for Arsenal in December 2002, though he remained working at Servette until the following summer. Shortly after joining Arsenal, Senderos' father and agent said that he rejected a move to Real Madrid in favour of joining Arsenal. Senderos himself claimed he made the right decision joining the Gunners.
Shortly after joining Arsenal, his start did not come as planned after he suffered a recurrence of a back problem for six weeks and another injury on a fractured bone in his foot, leaving him out for the rest of the season. During the season, Arsenal went undefeated and won the league.
