Hughes content at Cottagers
by Joseph Caron Dawe, 26 March 2008
Aaron Hughes says he is dedicated to helping Fulham fight their way clear of relegation and has rubbished rumours he is seeking a summer move out of Craven Cottage.
The defender had become the subject of speculation regarding an end-of-season exit, but he is adamant there is no truth in such conjecture.
"I signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Fulham last summer and my commitment to the club remains as strong as ever, my family is settled and I am happy here," said Hughes, whose side are four points from safety with seven games remaining.
"Whilst I am disappointed by our current league position, I am enjoying being at Fulham and hope to be playing Premier League football at Craven Cottage next season.
"We are fighting together as a team to secure the club's future and whilst my team-mates are well aware of my commitment to the club, I felt it necessary to reassure the fans following some inaccurate speculation surrounding my future."
The Northern Ireland captain joined The Cottagers from Aston Villa last summer.
