Winger Damien Duff has finally completed his move from Newcastle United to Premier League club Fulham for a figure believed to be in the region of £4million. The 30 year old had previously pledged his future to Newcastle, but is now the 9th senior player to leave over the summer.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson told the Official Fulham website earlier in the week;

"I am delighted to add a player of Damien Duff's calibre to our squad and welcome the further midfield options he provides us with.

I have known Damien for over a decade since he broke into the first team at Blackburn when I was manager, so I'm fully aware of his qualities and I am looking forward to working with him again."

Duff said of the move;

"I am happy that my move to Fulham has been completed and look forward to joining in with the rest of the squad's training programme immediately, in preparation for two important home matches this week.

Fulham had a fantastic season last year and I know that having spoken to the manager in recent days that the club's ambitions remain high and I am looking forward to the challenges ahead."
