Fulham manager Roy Hodgson recruited his third goalkeeper of the summer after agreeing terms with Pascal Zuberbuhler.

The Swiss stopper, 37, joins the Premier League club on a one-year deal.

Hodgson has already brought in Mark Schwarzer and David Stockdale from Middlesborough and Darlington respectively, but has added the former West Brom man to his squad.

Zuberbuhler - who has 51 international caps to his name - is delighted to have seal the moved.

He told the club’s official website: “I’m very happy to sign for Fulham,”

“I know the club had a very hard season last year, but I’m confident that this season it will be much better. I’m coming here to be successful.”

The stopper recognises the challenge ahead, but has vowed to give his all to The Cottagers cause.

He added: “”I know also the situation here with the goalkeepers. I’ve known Mark Schwarzer for a long time and played against him in the past,”

“I know he’s the No.1, but I’m here to give my best so that, in the end, the team is successful. That’s my mentality.

Fulham have already brought in eight new faces in a bid to improve on last year’s 17th place finish, with Zuberbuhler becoming the ninth after his arrival from Neuchatel Xamax.
