Dickson Etuhu joined Fulham from Sunderland at the end of the 08/09 summer transfer window for an undisclosed fee (rumoured to be some £1.5m).

The 26-year-old Nigerian international made 20 appearances for the Black Cats in the 2007/08 season. Etuhu made his competitive international debut for Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations in 2008.

Prior to Sunderland Etuhu played 13 times for Man City, 150 times for Preston and 70 times for Norwich.

A tall and powerful central midfielder, born in Nigeria but brought up in London, Ehutu also possesses exceptional athleticism and is well known for his defensive abilities in the middle of the park.

Since making his Fulham debut in December 2008 in a 3-0 defeat of Middlesbrough, Dickson Etuhu has never looked back.

The central midfielder has proved a shrewd purchase, with his athleticism and raw power complimenting the industry and invention of midfield partner Danny Murphy and offering invaluable security to Aaron Hughes and Brede Hangeland.

It was no easy task to effectively replace fans' favourite Jimmy Bullard, who joined Hull City in the January 2009 transfer window, in the heart of the Fulham midfield, but the strength and commitment of Etuhu's performances did much to cushion the blow.

Etuhu netted his first Fulham goal at the City of Manchester Stadium, with a thunderous strike that helped Fulham secure a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in April 2009.

During the first half of last season Etuhu did not feature as heavily, due to injury, selection and the players participation in the 2010 African Cup of Nations.

However Etuhu's return to fitness and form in February 2010 coincided with an outstanding run of results in both league and cup campaigns and the midfielder played an integral role in Fulham's run to the Final of the UEFA Europa League Final.

At the 2010 World Cup Finals Etuhu played in all three of Nigeria's Group B matches against Argentina, Greece and the Korea Republic.

Dickson has made an impressive start to 2010/11 season under Mark Hughes and fired in his first goal of the new campaign during the Club's 2-2 draw against Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.

On the 7th September 2010 Dickson signed a contract extension with Fulham FC that will see the all-action midfielder remain at the Cottage until the summer of 2014.

On 3 August 2012, Fulham announced that Etuhu had left the club to join Blackburn Rovers on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
