Richards makes permanent Fulham switch

By

Fulham have signed Swansea defender Jazz Richards on a three-year contract.

The full-back played 14 times for the Whites during a loan spell last season and has now made the move permanent after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old played Europa League football with the Swans and also has five caps for Wales, performing superbly against Chelsea’s Eden Hazard in a recent win over Belgium.

Richards told Fulham’s official website: “When I was on loan here last season I settled in straight away with the lads and the staff, and I enjoyed the style of football that Kit Symons was trying to get the team playing. That made me want to come back.

“Kit’s a good manager, a good coach, and what he’s trying to get us to do will take the club forward, and we’ve got the players to do so.”

Fulham have already added midfielders Tom Cairney and Ben Pringle and goalkeeper Andy Lonergan to their squad for next season.
