Fulham Football Club has today added defender Dejan Stefanovic to its summer signing tally following the successful granting of a work permit. The Serbian International joins from Portsmouth on a two year deal for a fee of £1m.
32-year old Stefanovic began his career at Red Star Belgrade and made the move to the then top flight Sheffield Wednesday in 1995.
He went on to play for three years in Holland with Vitesse Arnhem prior to joining Pompey in July 2003, where he was handed the Captain’s armband during the 20056/2006 season.
Lawrie Sanchez said:
‘Dejan is a formidable defender with vast experience at both domestic and international levels. He reads the game well, is brave and knows the pace and strength of the Premiership, so I have no doubt that he will prove to be an asset for us over the coming months.
‘It’s been a busy transfer period for us and we have bought some real quality into the squad. It’s been a disappointing start for us in terms of the results, but I’m confident that we have a squad of players now that can go on and achieve things here.’
