Jamie O'Hara has revealed that he is hoping to achieve promotion to the Premier League with new club Fulham.

The midfielder, 28, recently joined the Cottagers on a free transfer following his release by Blackpool.

Despite finishing last season in 17th place in the table, O'Hara believes that Fulham have a squad that is capable of challenging for at least the Championship playoffs.

"This is a massive opportunity to push on again," he told the club's official website. "We've got a great squad of players and you need everyone to get promoted. Hopefully I'll be involved and be a big part.

"On and off the pitch, I'll try and help the young players. Hopefully I can be an influence in the dressing room and help get this club back to where it deserves to be."

Fulham start the new Championship campaign with a trip to Cardiff City on August 8.
