Veteran Australian shot-stopper Mark Schwarzer hopes to sign a new contract with Fulham after enjoying his first season at Craven Cottage.

The 36-year-old joined the Cottagers from Middlesbrough last summer and has played a key role in helping Roy Hodgson's side move up to seventh place in the Premier League this term.

Schwarzer, who still has one year left on his current deal, told the Fulham Chronicle: "There's been a few discussions.

"I feel as good, if not better, than when I first signed for Fulham.

"At this stage in my career, if the manager backs you and you continue to play week in, week out, then why not continue to play for as long as possible?

"Roy Hodgson is calm and modest and that filters down to the players, but he makes us conscious about keeping our heads down and concentrating right to the end of every game."
