Fulham goalkeeper Bettinelli signs new deal
Fulham have tied down goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli to a new deal that runs until at least 2021.
Marcus Bettinelli has signed a new contract to commit his future to Fulham.
Bettinelli did not begin the season as Fulham's first-choice goalkeeper but has established himself as Slavisa Jokanovic's number one, making seven straight Premier League starts.
The 26-year-old has forced his way into Gareth Southgate's last two England squads and on Thursday he signed a new three-year contract.
Fulham have an option to add a further 12 months to the deal and Bettinelli is thrilled to be extending his career-long association with the Cottagers.

"It's something I've been wanting for a long time now," Bettinelli told Fulham's website.
"I'm really happy, it's a proud moment for me and my family, and something that I've worked towards for a long time.
"Thank you to the owners and everyone at the club for giving me this opportunity to stay here and continue my career at this fantastic football club."
