Fulham striker McCormack signs new deal

Ross McCormack has signed a new contract with Fulham, which could keep him at the club until 2020.

The Whites striker, who has scored 18 goals this season, was already committed until 2019 but his new deal has an option to extend his stay for a further year.

The 29-year-old was the subject of bids from Middlesbrough in January and Sheffield Wednesday last August but Fulham refused to sell.

McCormack joined Fulham from Leeds in a big-money deal in 2014 and has 37 goals in 87 games for the club.

He is currently the Championship’s second highest scorer and also captained Fulham in the opening months of the season, in the absence of Scott Parker.
