The Club is pleased to announce that Eddy Nsasi has signed his first professional contract.
It’s a deserved milestone for Eddy who has made big strides throughout his time at Fulham, joining the Club at the Foundation Phase. This season has been particularly significant in Eddy’s Fulham journey, becoming a regular in our Under-21s side despite only turning 17 in August.
The defender has had good exposure to both U18s and U21s environments this season. He has made four appearances for Ali Melloul’s Young Whites, but he’s featured heavily in the older age group, playing 10 games across all competitions.
Eddy expressed his delight after signing his new deal, telling fulhamfc.com: “I’m very excited and very happy to sign my pro. I started here at Under-8s, so all of that hard work has paid off.
“My targets are to continue playing with the U21s, keep progressing, keep being the best player I can be and hopefully breaking through to the First Team.”
Sean Cullen, Academy Director, added: "This is a great achievement for Eddy and his family, and a culmination of nearly 10 years' hard work for him.
"Eddy is a great character and the sort of person who is easy to get along with, however his personality changes quickly when he crosses the white line and he is a tenacious and determined defender, who enjoys the art of defending.
"Eddy has made the transition from 18s football to 21s quicker than we expected and has settled in well with the older age group, putting in some outstanding performances."
