THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ream is arguably hitting the highest point of his career now despite his advanced age, and Fulham have rewarded him for his recent form.
WHAT THEY SAID: “I’m still not retiring! I’m going to be here for year number nine, and I'm excited," Ream said. “I feel the best I've ever felt, as confident as I've ever been. To extend it another 12 months into 2024 is a proud moment for myself and my family.
“I'm happy to continue on this journey with the club, the fans and all the guys in the changing room."
