The Club is delighted to confirm that Jay Stansfield has signed a new four-year deal, keeping him at the Club until 2027 with a club option for an extra year.
On top of that, the youngster will spend the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Championship side Birmingham City.
The Blues have made a strong unbeaten start to their campaign and Jay will be hoping to make the same impact as he did last season while on loan at his hometown club Exeter City.
After agreeing to extend his stay at the Club, a happy Jay spoke to fulhamfc.com.
"I'm buzzing. I love it here, it really feels like home and I can’t wait to be able to come back next season a better player and hopefully play in front of everyone at Craven Cottage.
"It’s such an amazing club and I can see myself hopefully scoring many goals here."
On his loan move, Jay added: "I think it’s key for me to take the next step in my career and continue to work hard and learn along the way."
Head of Football Development Huw Jennings continued: "We're really delighted and it's a long-term deal as well which is something that we've been focused on with our younger players in the last few years, to try to encourage them to commit long-term to the Club.
"Jay had an outstanding loan at Exeter last season and for all the right reasons, we want to see him as part of Fulham for a long time."
On his loan switch to Birmingham, Huw said: "At 20 years of age and as a goalscorer who is also very creative, this is the ideal platform for Jay.
"He's going to be in a situation where he gets great experience playing at a higher level, building on all of the success that he had last year at Exeter. Watching him in training and during the early pre-season games, he looks sharp and hopefully he can transform that into an excellent loan opportunity with Birmingham.
Everybody at Fulham wishes Jay all the very best for the season.
