Ross McCormack not motivated by money

Ross McCormack says that he is more interested in helping Fulham win promotion to the Premier League than how much he gets paid.

Fulham midfielder Ross McCormack has insisted that his move to the club was not motivated by money.

The Scot joined the Cottagers from Leeds United last month for a reported fee of £11m, and he has claimed that helping them back to the Premier League is more important than monetary gain.

"When I had a chat with the manager and the chief executive in the summer it was all about me coming here and being part of the squad that gets Fulham back to the Premier League," he told Marathonbet.com.

"People talk about footballers being motivated by money but I would like to look at it at the end of my career and put my finger on this point where I helped Fulham get back to the Premier League. I will remember that more than what I was earning.

"Obviously the club paid a bit of money to get me here, so it is always nice for another club to want you that much."

McCormack ended last season as the Championship's top scorer with 29 goals.
