Veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has signed a new two-year-contract with Fulham.
Schwarzer’s future has been the subject of much speculation since the summer when Arsenal made a bid, believed to be around £4m, for the Australia international.
The Cottagers rejected the offer but the 38-year-old continued to be linked with a move away from the club in the summer when his original deal was due to expire.
However, he has now pledged his future to the London club with a deal that will keep him at Craven Cottage until he is 40.
Schwarzer told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted to have finally signed a contract extension with Fulham after a great deal of speculation surrounding my future in recent months.
“The club, manager and team have all highlighted their desire to see me stay at the Cottage and, after successful negotiations, I can confirm that my future is Fulham.
“Since I joined the club in 2008, we have enjoyed a great deal of success and I believe Mark Hughes and the team will build on this success over the forthcoming seasons and continue the club’s progress.
“I have enjoyed two memorable years at the club so far and I am now looking forward to many more.”
