Captain Parker signs new deal with Fulham

Fulham captain Scott Parker has agreed a new one-year contract with the club.

Parker, 35, was coming to the end of the three-year deal he originally signed when joining the Whites from Tottenham in 2013.

The former England midfielder has made 97 appearances for Fulham, scoring six goals.[phone][/phone]

He told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted to have signed an extension with the club. We are all confident that we can make next season a better one.”

Earlier this week, his team-mate Tom Cairney had urged Parker to stay on and praised the skipper for his leadership.

Parker also had a two-year spell at Chelsea as well as playing for Charlton, Newcastle and West Ham.
