Fulham has signed Steve Sidwell from Premier League rival Aston Villa on a six-month contract as it tries to shore up its midfield in the January transfer window.
Fulham announced the deal on its website Friday but did not disclose financial details. The club said the initial deal expires at the end of the season, but with an option to extend it for another three years.
Sidwell played for Reading between 2003-07 before moving to Chelsea the following season. He then joined Villa in 2008.
The 28-year-old midfielder said he is "looking forward to training with the squad and help the club make steady progress up the table in the second half of the season."
