Fulham snap up defender Hutchinson

By

Fulham have signed centre-back Shaun Hutchinson on a free transfer after he rejected a new contract at Motherwell.

He has signed an initial two-year deal at Craven Cottage with the option of a further 12 months.

A number of clubs had been monitoring the Newcastle-born 23-year-old, who has impressed north of the border since making his debut in 2009.

“I was a difficult decision to leave Motherwell and I had to really think hard about it,” he said.

“However, this is a great opportunity at Fulham and I can’t wait to get started.”

Fulham are due to visit Motherwell for a pre-season friendly at Fir Park on 12 July.
