Sidwell joins Fulham

Former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell returned to his native London on Friday when he signed for Fulham for an undisclosed fee on an initial six-month deal.
The 28-year-old Sidwell, who had also interested Wolves and West Ham, joined Aston Villa from Chelsea in 2008 after initially making an impact in the top flight with Reading.
"I'm delighted my move to Fulham has been finalised, and I'm looking forward to training with the squad and helping the club make steady progress up the table in the second half of the season," he said.
