Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney says it is "an amazing feeling" to have signed a new five-year deal at the club, committing his future to the Cottagers until summer 2024.

The 28-year-old, who arrived on a £2.8m deal from Blackburn four years ago, has scored 26 goals for the west London club during his four-year spell.

Cairney also has the option to extend his contract by a further year.

Speaking to fulhamfctv, Cairney said: "The club's been amazing to me, and to extend my contract again is an amazing feeling. I want to stay for a long time, and hopefully finish my career here.

"This place feels like home. I don't think you can put a price on happiness, and your life off the pitch as well, and I can't see myself anywhere else."

Fulham's relegation was confirmed after a 4-1 defeat against Watford at Vicarage Road four weeks ago.

Cairney scored the only goal in Fulham's 2018 Championship play-off final victory against Aston Villa which saw them reach the Premier League.

"I feel like I've got unfinished business," he added. "I want to stay here and I want to get the club back to the Premier League.

"I want to bounce straight back next season. I know how hard the Championship is, but knowing our owners and how ambitious the club is, I'm sure we'll give it a good go."
