Fulham captain Scott Parker pens contract extension

Fulham skipper Scott Parker has put pen to paper on a new one-year deal with the Championship side.

The veteran midfielder, 35, was due to be out of contract this summer but will stay in West London for at least one more season.

"I'm delighted to have signed an extension with the club," Parker told the Cottagers' website. "We are all confident that we can make next season a better one, so I do hope you'll join me and the boys again at Craven Cottage for 2016-17."

Parker, who has played for Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Charlton Athletic in the Premier League, signed for Fulham in 2013 and has 99 club appearances to his name.

Fulham finished 20th in the Championship this season.
