Fulham defender – linked with Man City and Newcastle – signs new deal

Antonee Robinson has signed a new long-term contract with Fulham.

The defender has put pen to paper on a deal which keeps him with the west Londoners until 2028.

USA international Robinson, 25, had been linked with a move away from Craven Cottage recently, with both Manchester City and Newcastle United reportedly battling for his signature.

He has made 107 appearances for Fulham since joining from Wigan in 2020.

Fulham vice-chair Tony Khan added: “Since his arrival in 2020, he’s been a very important part of the Fulham squad. 

“He’s a tenacious defender and a remarkable athlete, with great pace that serves us well up and down the pitch, through his hard work in defence and the great service he provides to our attack.

“Jedi’s also a remarkable person, both on and off the pitch. He’s a great friend and a great teammate, beloved by his squad and the staff with whom he works, both here at Fulham as well as the USMNT, where he’s also a very important player.”
