DONE DEAL: Fulham sign Woking goalkeeper Marco Underwood

Fulham have signed Woking goalkeeper Marco Underwood.

Underwood joins initially on scholarship forms.

He told the club's website: "I'm absolutely delighted. This is what I've been working towards my whole life and I now have the opportunity to join this great club, so I'm just so happy to be here.

"I grew up playing grassroots football and I've been all around the Academy system. I've been on lots of trials, with some working out and some not but thankfully this one has worked out and I'm so proud and thankful for the opportunity."

On his aims, Underwood continued: "To be honest, I'm just looking to fulfil my full potential and become a professional footballer like all the rest of the lads, but it's in God's hands and hopefully one day that'll be possible.

"I'd like to thank my friends and family and all the coaches that have supported me along the way because without them I would have struggled. I'm massively appreciative to all those people."
