Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer signs new contract
Baku, December 2 (AZERTAC). Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2012.
Australian Schwarzer, 38, who moved to Craven Cottage from Middlesbrough in 2008, was linked with Arsenal during the last transfer window.
"He was obviously very flattered by the interest. We`re delighted that he`s decided to stay here and we can move forward now," said manager Mark Hughes.
Schwarzer added he was "delighted" to have ended speculation over his future.
"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 with Fulham," Schwarzer told the Furlham website.
In his first season with the Cottagers, Schwarzer was named the club`s player of the year as then manager Roy Hodgson took Fulham to seventh, their best finish in the Premier League.
The keeper has also played for Australia 82 times, including at both the 2006 and 2010 World Cup finals.
