Marcus Bettinelli has signed a contract extension at Fulham that will see him remain at the club until 2020, with the option of a further year.

The 25-year-old graduated through the Fulham academy and has gone on to become a fan favourite at the Cottage, ending last season as the number one keeper as they made the Play-offs.

He suffered an injury in the pre-season defeat to Wolfsburg at the start of this season and has since played in the Carabao Cup defeat to Bristol, but will now be looking to push on with the club after signing the deal.

"I’m obviously really, really happy," Bettinelli told fulhamfctv.

"My heart was always here. I’ve been here a long time now, I love playing for this Club and I’m just thankful that I’ve signed a new contract."

Tony Khan added: "Marcus Bettinelli is an important member of the Fulham Football Club family, and I'm very pleased that we've agreed to a contract extension with him.

"He has performed very well and made major contributions for our team, and he has a bright future ahead, so we are thrilled to have Marcus with our club.

"He's not only a very gifted player, but also a good person with strong character, which makes him a valuable part of our foundation as we continue to build a club that will have the talent and culture to win matches and make our supporters proud."
