Fulham youngsters sign contracts - Sporting Life

Fulham have agreed new contracts with Michael Timlin and Dean Leacock which will keep the academy products at Craven Cottage until next summer.

Midfielder Timlin, captain of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 team that won the Madeira Tournament last year, made two first-team appearances this term and also spent loan spells at Scunthorpe and Doncaster.

Leacock, who can play at right or centre-back, made seven appearances for Chris Coleman's senior team during the 2005-06 campaign and was also a key figure for the reserves.
