SINGAPORE - Singaporean teenager Ben Davis has signed a professional contract with English Premier League side Fulham, taking a big step towards realising his dream of playing in the world's most popular football league one day.
The club announced the signing earlier on Friday afternoon (July 13). The move means that he will earn a weekly wage and while he will continue to play with the Under-18s and U-23s, he could earn the nod to train with the Fulham first team and even pull on the Cottagers' shirt in the EPL if he proves his worth.
