The Club is delighted to announce that French striker Jean-Pierre Tiehi has re-signed with Fulham.

The deal keeps the powerful forward at the club for a further two years, with a one-year option to extend.

After returning to Motspur Park, Tiehi told fulhamfc.com:

"I'm very happy to be back after coming to an agreement with the club I love. I'm enjoying this moment but I'm ready to get back to work and perform well for Fulham, who have put their faith in me and allowed me to return."

With our Under-23s currently top of the PL2 Division Two table, the 19-year-old is excited to help push the team even more.

"I've been following the guys, who have started really well in the league. I'm hoping I'll be a good addition to the team and I want to bring my personality and abilities into the side. We want to keep performing the way we have been all season."

Jean-Pierre Tiehi re-signs with Fulham

Head of Football Development, Huw Jennings, later added:

"We're delighted that Jean-Pierre has re-signed at the club. At the end of last season, he was thinking long and hard about what he wanted his future to be and in the end he's decided to commit his future to us. We're really pleased to have him back.

"We've been a little thin resources wise as we've been playing a lot of younger players at First Team level. Jean-Pierre's been part of a project of developing strikers for the future and hopefully he can come back, get himself up to speed as quickly as possible and progress from there."
