Goalkeeper agrees one-year deal at Craven Cottage

Fulham have announced the signing of Switzerland goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuhler on a one-year deal. The 37-year-old becomes manager Roy Hodgson's third shot-stopping capture of the summer following the arrivals of Mark Schwarzer and David Stockdale. Zuberbuhler played in Switzerland's final group match of Euro 2008, against Portugal, and has made 51 appearances for his country. And Zuberbuhler - who joined West Brom in 2006, before moving back to Switzerland with Neuchatel Xamax - expects Fulham to improve on last season's battle against Premier League relegation. "I'm very happy to sign for Fulham," Zuberbuhler told the club's official website.

Confident

"I've already spent three weeks with the team and we have a very good squad for the new season. "I know the club had a very hard season last year, but I'm confident that this season it will be much better. I'm coming here to be successful. "I know also the situation here with the goalkeepers. I've known Mark Schwarzer for a long time and played against him in the past. "I know he's the No.1, but I'm here to give my best so that, in the end, the team is successful. That's my mentality. "If I sign a contract with a club I want to be successful. I want to do everything possible to help Fulham have a good season - that's my number one aim."
