Former Wanderers loanee Marlon Fossey has completed a permanent move to Belgian club Standard Liege.

Fossey impressed for the Whites at wing-back during the second half of last season after joining on loan from Fulham.

The 23-year-old managed a goal and four assists in 15 appearances before his campaign was cut short by a knee injury.

He was entering the final year of his contract at Fulham and had reportedly turned down the offer of an extension from the London outfit.

Fossey told the club’s website: "It's a sad moment leaving Fulham and saying my goodbyes a few days ago was emotional. I've been in and around the club for about 12 years so I'm comfortable with everyone.

"It's also exciting that I'm stepping into a new environment at a higher level than I was playing at last season.

“The key for me was to play at a higher level consistently, and hopefully if I put the work in I can achieve that now.

"Initially, I was coming over every weekend for like a month and thankfully I did sign with my family there with me. My time here has been amazing.

“I really appreciate the many fans who have been looking out for me over the years and giving me words of encouragement when it came to injury progress."

The wing-back has made one appearance for Fulham this season, starting in the 2-0 defeat against Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup just over a week ago.

An official statement read: “Marlon has been a pleasure to have around Motspur Park and has shown loyalty, dedication and enthusiasm throughout. Everybody at Fulham wishes him all the very best moving forward.”

Standard Liege are managed by former Celtic boss Ronny Deila and are currently ninth in the Belgian top-flight, having picked up 10 points from their opening seven matches.
