Fulham have signed South African international midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi, for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old joins from Golden Arrows, committing him to the Barclays Premier League club until the summer of 2011.

He told his club's official website, www.fulhamfc.co.uk: "I am so happy that my transfer to Fulham has been finalised."

He continued: "I have spent most of the summer training with the players and getting to know them and all of the coaching staff.

"I have been given a wonderful chance to be part of a fantastic team playing in one of the best leagues in the world, this is something very special to me and an opportunity that I am going to grab with both hands."

Dikgacoi, part of South Africa's squad for the 2008 African Nations Cup, played in all five of South Africa's Confederations Cup matches this summer and has made 28 appearances for his country since breaking into the international scene two years ago.
