Fulham have completed the signing of Switzerland goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuhler on a one-year contract.
The veteran goalkeeper, who has been training with the Cottagers for three weeks, is manager Roy Hodgson's 10th capture of the summer after arriving from Neuchatel Xamax.
There is almost certain to be an 11th with Fulham waiting to close revised negotations over striker Andrew Johnson's move from Everton..
Swiss keeper Zuberbuhler, 37, has played in England before with West Bromwich Albion two years ago and is likely to provide cover for Australian international Mark Schwarzer who signed on a free transfer from Middlesbrough in June.
Zuberbuhler played in Switzerland's final group match of the Euro 2008 championship against Portugal and has made 51 appearances for his country.
He made his senior debut for Zurich club Grasshopper in 1992, making 187 appearances in a seven year spell until moving to FC Basle, from where he briefly joined Albion in July 2006 but made only 15 league starts before being released.
He moved back to Switzerland with Neuchatel where the much-travelled Hodgson had been manager between 1990 and 1992.
