The Club is pleased to announce that goalkeeper Marco Underwood has signed a scholarship agreement with the club.
Marco joined us from Woking and signed his scholarship in January. The youngster performed well in his trial and put in an excellent debut display against Southampton Under-18s on Saturday.
Marco spoke to fulhamfc.com on his delight after signing with the club.
"I'm absolutely delighted. This is what I've been working towards my whole life and I now have the opportunity to join this great club, so I'm just so happy to be here.
"I grew up playing grassroots football and I've been all around the Academy system. I've been on lots of trials, with some working out and some not but thankfully this one has worked out and I'm so proud and thankful for the opportunity."
On his aims at the club, he added: "To be honest, I'm just looking to fulfil my full potential and become a professional footballer like all the rest of the lads, but it's in God's hands and hopefully one day that'll be possible.
"I'd like to thank my friends and family and all the coaches that have supported me along the way because without them I would have struggled. I'm massively appreciative to all those people."
Academy Director Sean Cullen added: "Marco did very well during his trial period and demonstrated great potential. We are excited to see how he continues to develop in our Professional Development Phase programme."
