Glory teen Warland joins Premier League side Fulham

Perth Glory defender Riley Warland has joined Premier League outfit Fulham for an undisclosed fee.

Warland, 16, had progressed through Glory's NPL Academy after joining the club's Development Centre in 2011 and 'is set to spend the next three years at Craven Cottage', a Glory media release read.

"The move to Fulham represents a fantastic opportunity for Riley," Glory football director Jacob Burns said, "and while it is sad to see a young prospect depart, he goes with our very best wishes.
"He has been with the club since the age of nine and his progress is a testament to the hard work of every coach he has worked under within our two-star academy here at Glory, as well as to his own hard work and dedication.

"Riley joins a lengthy list of players who have followed the clear pathway that exists within our academy structure and gone on to earn opportunities at top overseas clubs."
