Cole strikes for Fulham

Former England striker Andy Cole has joined Fulham FC from Premiership rivals Blackburn Rovers FC for an undisclosed fee.

Second Fulham spell
The 32-year-old had a brief loan spell at Fulham in 1991/92 during a career that has taken in spells at Arsenal FC, Bristol City FC, Newcastle United FC and Manchester United FC. He was capped 15 times by England before retiring from international football because of his omission from the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad.

'Goalscoring ability'
Fulham manager Chris Coleman told the club's website: "I am delighted to welcome Andy to Fulham, his experience and proven goalscoring ability were key factors in my decision to add him to the squad. I know he will be 100 per cent committed every time he pulls on the Fulham shirt, and I am sure that his knowledge and understanding of the game will benefit the less experienced players around him."
