Villa signing Knight: Right time to leave Fulham

New Aston Villa signing Zat Knight has admitted some sadness at leaving Fulham.

The defender told fulhamfc.com: "I've been at Fulham for a long time so making the move is a bit emotional.

"I've made a lot of good friends at Fulham and have seen a lot of people come and go - I feel part of the furniture so it's definitely a hard decision to make. Hopefully I've made the right one.

"I feel quite blessed to have been at Fulham for so long. I really wish Fulham all the best. I've been there since the Second Division so I've got lots of fond memories of going up through the leagues and they're memories that no one can take away from me.

"I would like to say a massive thank you to all the Fulham fans. I wish all the fans and staff the best."
