Sascha Riether hopes to repeat the success at Fulham of former German fullback Moritz Volz.
Volz became a popular figure on the banks of the Thames during his spell at the club.
"I heard that the Fulham fans liked him very much and I'd like to make an impact like that - why not?" Riether told the Ealing Gazette.
"Of course, Moritz is a different person, but I will try my best to do well."
