Of the players departing, Joe Bryan made the most appearances for the Club, and we paid tribute to his impact last week.

Paulo Gazzaniga and Steven Sessegnon each earned promotion during their time with Fulham.

Gazzaniga began the 2021/22 campaign as Marco Silva’s first choice goalkeeper, going on to make 15 appearances for the Whites as we won the Championship.

He spent last year on loan with Girona, who he will join permanently next month.

Sessegnon has spent most of his life at the Club, joining at Under-9 level alongside his twin brother Ryan.

He made his First Team debut in a 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers in the League Cup at the start of the 2017/18 season.

Two years later, Sessegnon appeared 14 times in the Championship, and was an unused substitute for our Play-Off Final victory over Brentford at Wembley.

During his time with us, Sessegnon had loan spells with Bristol City, Plymouth Argyle and – this year – Charlton Athletic, where he won the Addicks’ goal of the season accolade.

Shane Duffy joined the Club on loan ahead of the 2022/23 season, making his debut the following day as a late substitute in our 2-2 draw with Liverpool.

His move was later made permanent until the end of the campaign to accommodate the winter loan arrival of Cédric Soares.

It was recently announced that Duffy will join Norwich City when his Fulham contract expires.

We would like to thank all of these players, and the Academy boys, for their efforts during their time at the Club, and wish them the very best of luck during their respective next chapters.
