Damien Duff became Fulham’s third signing during the summer of 2009 when he switched from Newcastle United to SW6.

Earlier in his career Duff made more than 180 appearances for Blackburn Rovers before becoming Chelsea’s then record signing when he joined for £17million at the start of the 2003-04 campaign.

Injury affected his initial impact at Stamford Bridge, but he went on to become a key player for Fulham’s SW6 rivals, helping them to their highest league finish in 49 years. He also became part of the Blues team that swept up the Premier League title and Carling Cup in 2005.

Duff made more than 80 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 14 goals, before joining Newcastle in July 2006.

The winger made some key contributions in his three years at St James’ Park, although the Magpies’ fortunes took a turn for the worse when they were relegated at the end of the 2008/09 season.

With the 75-cap Republic of Ireland international available, Fulham made their move to secure Duff, who went on to enjoy a superb first season at the Cottage as Fulham reached the UEFA Europa League Final in Hamburg.

Last season the winger has been an ever present member of Fulham's starting eleven on the right flank and his outstanding form at the start of 2011 was rewarded with a winning goal against his former Club, Newcastle United, on February 2nd.

Duff followed up with a further strike against Manchester City (1-1) before adding a brace to his tally a week later as Fulham beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 at the Cottage on March 5th.  

At the start of May Duff was ruled out of action for the final three Barclays Premier League matches of the season after undergoing an operation on his Achilles.

On the 19th August 2011 the Club confirmed that Duff had signed a contract extension that will see the Republic of Ireland international remain at Craven Cottage until at least the summer of 2013.
