​DONE DEAL: Fulham announce Fossey move to Standard Liege

Fulham have announced the departure of Marlon Fossey.

The 23-year-old, who can play as a wing-back, was impressive at Bolton Wanderers on loan last season.

He is now signing with Standard Liege in Belgium, as he chases regular first-team football.

Fossey told the club's website: "It's a sad moment leaving Fulham and saying my goodbyes a few days ago was emotional. I've been in and around the club for about 12 years so I'm comfortable with everyone.

"It's also exciting that I'm stepping into a new environment at a higher level than I was playing at last season.

"The key for me was to play at a higher level consistently, and hopefully if I put the work in I can achieve that now.

"Initially, I was coming over every weekend for like a month and thankfully I did sign with my family there with me. My time here has been amazing.

"I really appreciate the many fans who have been looking out for me over the years and giving me words of encouragement when it came to injury progress."
