Bryan Ruiz aims to improve in second season at Fulham

Fulham's Bryan Ruiz has admitted that he hopes he can improve in his second season of Premier League football.

The Cottagers signed the Costa Rican international last summer for a fee believed to be in excess of £10m, but Ruiz failed to make a regular impact at Craven Cottage.

Ruiz told the club's official website: "It would be nice to score a few more goals as the new season progresses and that is something I know I am capable of doing.

"I think there is more to come. I know that the manager has talked about me making a greater contribution and he has faith that I can."

The 26-year-old scored two goals in 27 appearances for Fulham last season.
