What Was Said<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Fulham website about his move, Archer said:<\/a> \u201cI\u2019ve been watching a lot of Championship football this year, and Fulham are playing good, attractive football.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are top quality players here, so to be a part of this group is something I couldn\u2019t turn down.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years it\u2019s been an attractive football club. The Gaffer\u2019s come in and got them playing good football, and that\u2019s something I want to buy into. When Fulham came in it was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m buzzing now. I was raring to get it done. I got the call earlier in the week to come in and do the medical.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic club, I\u2019ve played against them a few times, so I know some of the boys here. This season they\u2019re doing well, so it\u2019s an absolute honour to be part of it.<\/p>\n

Chairman Tony Khan added:<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m happy to welcome Jordan to Fulham, adding more depth in this position with a player who has a lot of Championship experience is very positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know he\u2019ll get the best welcome from everyone within the Club and in the stands.\u201d<\/p>\n
