Fulham sign Sascha Riether

Fulham have completed the signing of defender Sascha Riether on a season-long loan from German club Cologne.

The 29-year-old, who will provide competition on the right side of the defence, admitted his delight at the move.

"I feel very pleased to have signed. Fulham is a good club, a big club with a big tradition and for me it's great to be here," he told reporters.

"I played here one time with Wolfsburg and I remember Craven Cottage being a great stadium with great fans, and I hope I can go on to have a great season here."

Riether has two German international caps to his name.
