Fulham have completed the signing of former Wigan Athletic forward Hugo Rodallega on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old Colombia international spent three years at the DW Stadium but, after his contract expired, opted to look for a new challenge elsewhere - with the west London club giving him the opportunity to remain in the Premier League.

"I'm thrilled to have signed for Fulham," Rodallega said. "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."

Having seen Andy Johnson depart for QPR already this summer, Rodallega's arrival replenishes Fulham's attacking options. Manager Martin Jol is looking forward to the player's impact at Craven Cottage.

"I am delighted that Hugo has decided to join Fulham," Jol said. "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."
