Fulham midfielder Scott Parker signs one-year contract extension

Scott Parker has signed a one-year contract extension at Fulham.

The 35-year-old defensive-midfielder joined the Whites from Tottenham for £5m in August 2013 when Fulham were still in the Premier League.

Parker, who is club captain, has made over 100 appearances for the west London club including 24 this season despite a period out with injury, while he has also been involved in the club's coaching set-up.

"I'm delighted to have signed an extension with the club," said Parker.

"We are all confident that we can make next season a better one, so I do hope you'll join me and the boys again at Craven Cottage for 2016-17."

Parker represented England from U-16 level upwards and won 18 full caps - the last coming in 2013 - having won the majority during a successful spell at Spurs in which he played in the Champions League.

He began his career at Charlton before two seasons at Chelsea, two at Newcastle and five at West Ham.
