Striker Jay Stansfield has signed a new two-year contract with Fulham, the club have confirmed this evening.

The former Exeter City forward has starred for Fulham’s academy side since joining the Whites in the summer of 2019 and has made four first-team appearances. He scored his first senior goal in the League Cup win at Birmingham City back in August.

The 19 year-old told Fulham’s official website:

“I can’t wait to get going again. I’ve been here for three years now and I’m lucky enough to sign a new contract to be here for an extra two. I can’t wait to show what I can do in these two years and hopefully push on and get closer to the first team. It’s been quite hard coming back from injury but I feel that I’ve been able to get through this mentally and come back both stronger and better. The new contract is a big reward at the end of it after a good period.”

Stansfield’s new deal will keep him at Craven Cottage until at least the summer of 2024, with Fulham holding a further year’s option.
