Fulham sign experienced goalkeeper Lecomte
The 34-year-old, who has 329 Ligue 1 appearances to his name, is the first summer arrival at Craven Cottage.
The experienced shot-stopper will provide cover and competition for first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno next season, after Steven Benda joined Championship side Millwall on a season-long loan earlier this week.
Speaking to FFCtv after penning his deal, Lecomte said: "I'm really happy and proud to join Fulham because it is a new step in my career and I think it will be really nice to be part of the club."

Pictures: Manchester United players move into stunning new-look Carrington
Manchester United have confirmed that Ruben Amorim and his players returned to a new and revamped Carrington training facility on Wednesday morning. Carrington undergoes improvements Last year, United confirmed that they had initiated work on an ambitious £50m project that would see Carrington be transformed into a 'world-class' complex. A big part of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid to become co-owner of United was to invest heavily in improving United's infrastructure after several years of neglect and pitiful management by the Glazer family. Award-winning and Manchester-born architect Lord Norman Foster was hired to oversee the renovations at Carrington. United noted that they planned to revamp the gym, medical, nutrition and recovery areas and insisted there was 'a design emphasis on creating more space for collaboration and innovation among players and staff.' The project ran throughout the entire 2024/25 season and was set to officially open just before the start of the upcoming campaign. Last week, Amorim said about the redeveloped Carrington, 'It's like a new start with different standards and I think to go to our building, to the new building is like a fresh start.' 'So, I think the timing is completely perfect to do everything. The good thing is that everybody's aligned what we need to do and now it's to win games, game by game try to win every game and the performance are really important as well.' Now, United have announced that the players have returned to a new-look Carrington following the completion of their United States pre-season tour. United players return to new-look Carrington The club relayed in a statement, 'While away in the States, the refurbishment of our Carrington training complex was completed and the players have now moved in.' 'The innovative new facility will officially open with a ribbon-cutting event on Friday.' The post below features some photos of the players inside the upgraded facility. United also teased the Carrington's opening on social media. United are back in action on Saturday when they take on Fiorentina in their final pre-season clash before the Premier League campaign kicks off.

Drake Maye says Mike Vrabel's bloodied face after he rose from pile at practice was reminiscent of Trump rally
Before becoming a coach, Mike Vrabel was known as one of the most physical linebackers in the NFL. Earlier this year, Vrabel was named head coach of the New England Patriots, reuniting him with the franchise with which he spent eight seasons. Vrabel is guiding the Patriots through training camp, and while fights tend to break out during the grueling weeks of training camp, coaches don't typically jump into the fray. Vrabel decided to buck that trend. On Wednesday, the Patriots and Washington Commanders held a joint practice at Gillette Stadium. At one point during practice, a hard tackle by rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson as he stepped up to block for pass protection appeared to be the tipping point for an eventual scuffle. Vrabel eventually tried to defuse the situation by taking matters into his own hands and jumping into the pile. Once the tension settled, the first-year Patriots coach emerged with a bloody face, the Boston Herald reported. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was complimentary of his coach's tenacity. "That's what we're trying to build, and it starts with the head coach — intensity, bringing it every day, taking no crap when we're out there on the field," Maye said. "The mentality, I like it. That's what you want." Vrabel was later spotted holding a towel that appeared to contain ice on his face. "Pass pro is physical. It's a physical game. Things happen out there," Maye said. "There's a time where obviously you don't want to come out here and fight and get into trouble. At the same time, you don't want to back down from nobody. So, I'm sure Coach will preach that we can't have that, but, at the same time, kind of in the back of our minds, that's kind of how we want to play — the intensity. When the whistle is going, play hard, and when the whistle stops, get off and get away." Maye added that Vrabel's appearance reminded him of the assassination attempt at one of President Donald Trump's political rallies in Pennsylvania last year. "Somebody was saying it was like the Trump gunshot," Maye said, pointing toward his ear. Patriots tight end Hunter Henry suggested Vrabel's pysical nature is still a part of him even though he is no longer playing. "He's right there with us, man. I think that player comes out in him a little bit too," Henry said. The brief melee did not result in any player ejections from practice.
