Scott Parker has signed a new three-year deal with Fulham.

After guiding the club back to the Premier League, Parker has penned fresh terms that will keep him at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2023.

“I’m delighted to have signed a new deal which shows mutual faith and commitment, on both my side and the club’s.

“I’m pleased with the hard work we have all carried out behind the scenes which resulted in achieving our objective of promotion to the Premier League last month. This has been a huge effort involving many people, and has continued in our preparations for the new season.

“Signing a new deal provides stability and an opportunity to keep on developing the team. There is still a lot of hard work ahead of us, and we’ll always be striving to improve and progress every day.”

Parker, who captained the club as a player, returned as a coach in the summer of 2018, handed the reins on an initially temporary basis following the departure of Claudio Ranieri.

He was named full-time boss prior to Fulham's final game of the 2018-19 season as the Cottagers were relegated back to the Championship.

He would lead them back to the top flight at the first time of asking, however via the play-offs, with Fulham beginning their new season at home to Arsenal on Saturday September 12.
