Senderos signed for Fulham in June 2010, but had to wait 11 months to make his debut after rupturing his Achilles tendon in training. The Switzerland defender then went on to win a place in the first team under new manager Martin Jol this season, but he suffered another injury - to his thigh - in September, leaving him out of action for a month. Jol has chosen between Brede Hangeland, Aaron Hughes and Chris Baird at centre-back in Senderos' absence, but the former Arsenal man is now fully fit and determined to put his despair behind him by winning back a place in the first team. "I think it's important to not dwell too much on what has happened in the past - I like to think that the injury is behind me now," Senderos told Fulham's website. "Of course, it was a frustrating period because I missed the majority of my first season at Fulham. "(But) I'm feeling good and I'm looking forward to the coming weeks. I've missed a lot of football and I need to establish myself again. "I know the challenge that I face because the partnership between Brede Hangeland and Aaron Hughes is very strong. "They are two of the best around and have done much for the success of this club in recent years, but that's what I have to do and I'm confident in my ability as a defender. "When the chance comes to show what I can do I have to make sure that I take the opportunity. "I just want to help make a difference and get a regular run of games under my belt." Despite his injury troubles at Craven Cottage, Senderos does not regret joining Fulham, a club he thinks has a bright future despite their worrying start to the season which has seen them drop to 17th after just one win in nine. "Joining Fulham was an easy choice, despite having other options," said Senderos, who could play in Saturday's game at Wigan. "This is a great club, with great players, great staff and great prospects - when you put those factors together you can see that this team is capable of achieving big things. "Ambition is massive to me, and Fulham have that. They've enjoyed some of their best seasons in recent years and I want to be part of its future success."
