Diarra back with Fulham for remainder of season

Fulham have re-signed Mahamadou Diarra for the rest of the Premier League season.

The 32-year old Mali international midfielder initially joined the Cottagers from Monaco in February 2012 but has not played for the southwest London club since that year because of a knee injury.

Diarra was released at the end of the 2012/13 campaign but is now back training with Fulham and has signed on for the remainder of the 2013/14 season.

"The club is delighted to announce that Mahamadou Diarra has rejoined Fulham on a deal that will run until the end of the 2013/14 season," a statement read on Fulham's official website.

"The 32-year-old was out of action for a sustained period after struggling with a knee injury, but worked relentlessly to regain full fitness. Diarra's short-term contract with Fulham will see his remuneration based on the number of appearances he makes for the First Team.

"The former Real Madrid midfielder initially joined the Whites on a free transfer in February 2012 and he went on to make 19 appearances for the club, scoring once."
