Cottagers tie up Bocanegra swoop

Thursday Sep 29 2005 14:49

Fulham have completed the signing of USA international defender Carlos Bocanegra on a three-year contract from Chicago Fire.

The 24-year-old was out of contract with Major League Soccer, allowing him to quit Chicago on a free transfer and head for the Premiership.

Cottagers boss Chris Coleman told the club's official website: "I have seen Carlos play and I could see that he has great potential.

"He reads the game well and is very skilful and strong which are the prime attributes of a defender.

"He has a great track record at international level, so I have no doubt that he will acclimatise to the Premiership fairly quickly.

"I am looking forward to him joining us."
