Fulham have confirmed the departure of Seol Ki-Hyeon after the South Korea forward joined Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal on a six-month loan.

The 30-year-old has been allowed to leave after making just 16 appearances during an 18-month spell at Craven Cottage.

The international winger also played for Wolves and Reading during a four-year spell in England.

Meanwhile, midfielder Dickson Etuhu is confident of playing his way into the first-team picture following an injury-plagued start to life at the London club.

The Nigeria international had to wait until December before making his first appearance for the Cottagers after suffering a knee injury shortly after arriving from Sunderland in a £1.5million deal last summer.

"It's great to be playing football again, that's all I can think about," he told the club's official website.

"Having missed almost 11 months it's naturally going to take a while to get to the standard where I want to be.

"At the moment my fitness is still a long way off that level, but that will come with the more games that I play.

"I have confidence in my ability and believe that when fit I'll be pushing for a place week-in-week-out.

"It's just good to be back though and I thank the manager, coaches, the fitness team and the boys for getting behind me and helping me through what was a very difficult time."
