Mitro’s on fire – Fulham agree new five-year contract with fans’ favourite

Aleksander Mitrovic has signed a new five-year deal at Fulham. The Serbian striker has made 108 appearances and scored 43 goals since signing on a permanent deal from Newcastle United in 2018.

Mitrovic said: “It feels amazing. It’s been my home now for three or four years so I’m really happy to sign my contract for the next five years.

“I want to thank Tony Khan and of course the owner and everyone at the club, for making me feel at home and showing how much they believe in me and how much they love me here, so I’m really happy.”

Director of football Khan added: “I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve agreed a contract extension to keep Aleksandar Mitrovic at Fulham Football Club.

“Mitro has been a driving force in both of our recent promotion campaigns in 2018 and 2020, as he’s scored many important goals and created numerous incredible memories for Fulham.

“He’s always embraced the love of our supporters, and he’s been a loyal friend to so many of us at the club, he really cares about Fulham and our people, and he still continues to produce joy for us on and off the pitch. I’m grateful to Mitro for his allegiance to our club and our supporters.”
