Fulham have brought in three players on loan in their bid to stay in the Championship and defender James Husband believes they can do it.
Husband comes in as part of a swap deal with Middlesbrough that sees Fernando Amorebieta go the other way.
The 21-year-old defender joined earlier in the week with midfielder Danny Guthrie and goalkeeper Richard Lee joining yesterday.
Husband said: “I’m delighted to be here. I’ve met the gaffer and the lads and I’m looking forward to my time here.
“I’m here to finish off the season and help Fulham get as high up the table as we can.
“You look at the players in the squad and there’s Premier League talent in there so I see no reason why we can’t go unbeaten until the end of the season.”
Husband has played only three times for Boro this season having joined from Doncaster in the summer.
He impressed while at Rovers, helping them to promotion, but has struggled at the Riverside Stadium.
The versatile defender can play in either full-back position and has also filled in at left midfield.
Guthrie comes in from Reading and will bring a wealth of Premier League experience to the middle of the park.
The 26-year-old started his career at Liverpool before moving on to Newcastle where he became a key part of their Championship winning team.
Lee joins from rivals Brentford and the 32-year-old will deputise for Marcus Bettinelli between the posts.
He announced earlier this year that he will retire at the season so Fulham will be the Brentford stalwart’s last club.
All three are on loan until the end of their season and could make their debut in the West London derby next week, except for Lee who cannot play against his parent club.
