Hugo Rodallega Agrees to Deal with Fulham
Hugo Rodallega is moving to Craven Cottage after signing on with Fulham.
In an interview with Fulham’s official website, Rodallega expressed the usual excitement you would expect from a newly signed player.
"I'm thrilled to have signed for Fulham Football Club. I wanted to stay in England and I'm delighted that I now have this opportunity with Fulham. I would like to thank the staff and fans of Wigan Athletic for three and a half wonderful seasons there. I'm looking forward to pre-season training with the rest of the Fulham squad and starting a new chapter in my career."
Cottagers' manager Martin Jol was excited about the new signing as well.
“I am delighted that Hugo has decided to join Fulham. There has been a lot of interest in him from other top flight teams in England and abroad, so to be able to add his quality to our squad is a massive boost this early in our preparations for the new campaign. He is a great addition and I think he will contribute very well to our style and philosophy here.”
Rodallega was a free agent and thus there’s no associated transfer fee with the signing.
