Jol hails massive boost as Colombian signs three-year deal

Fulham have confirmed the free transfer signing of Hugo Rodallega on a three-year contract, subject to a work permit. The 26-year-old forward had been out-of-contract since leaving Wigan at the end of the season, and Sky Sports had already revealed a move to Craven Cottage was imminent. Speaking at the club's training ground on Thursday, the Colombia international told Fulham's official website: "I'm thrilled to have signed for Fulham Football Club. "I wanted to stay in England and I'm delighted that I now have this opportunity with Fulham. "I would like to thank the staff and fans of Wigan Athletic for three and a half wonderful seasons there. "I'm looking forward to pre-season training with the rest of the Fulham squad and starting a new chapter in my career." Fulham boss Martin Jol, added: "I am delighted that Hugo has decided to join Fulham. "There has been a lot of interest in him from other top flight teams in England and abroad, so to be able to add his quality to our squad is a massive boost this early in our preparations for the new campaign. "He is a great addition and I think he will contribute very well to our style and philosophy here."
