Sweden international signs four-year contract at Craven Cottage
Fulham have completed the signing of Rosenborg defender Fredrik Stoor on a four-year deal.
Stoor is now under contract at Craven Cottage until 2012 as manager Roy Hodgson attempts to build a squad capable of avoiding a repeat of last season's battle against Premier League relegation.
The 24-year-old Swedish right-back played in his country's three games at Euro 2008, before they were eliminated at the group stages.
And Hodgson has admitted his delight at capturing Stoor, who also made four UEFA Champions League appearances for Rosenborg last season, including the 4-0 home defeat to Chelsea last November.
Delight
"I am delighted that Fredrik has joined us officially today," Hodgson told Fulham's
official website.
"He is a player I have followed for some time through my contacts with the Swedish national team. I watched him closely with his club side and we did a lot of research on him.
"Of course I had the opportunity to see him at close hand in the three matches that Sweden played in Euro 2008 and we decided that this was the player for us at right-back.
Certainly with John Pantsil and Fredrik Stoor we have excellent cover for that position for the coming season."
