Fulham Football Club has today announced that it has released Brede Hangeland.

The 32-year-old joined the Whites in January 2008 as Roy Hodgson's first signing and made an instant impact, helping the Club achieve Premier League survival in the season which became known as 'The Great Escape'.

Hangeland went on to make 272 appearances for Fulham, including turning out 16 times on our memorable run to the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final.

The Club would like to thank Brede for his six-and-a-half years of committed service and wishes him the very best in all of his future endeavours.

Best of luck Brede.

We've released Brede ! Are we shocked or not ?

[JBH]

Thanks Brede you done us proud until last season when you were appaulling!

[Sgt Fulham]

Oh that hurts, but I guess its for the best. Thanks for the memories Brede, you will always be a Fulham favorite and were solid during our Europa run as well as being a great down to earth bloke off the pitch. Good luck wherever you go!

[alexbishop]

Um shocked that he has been released....doesn't he have time on his contract remaining or do you think there was a relegation break clause or something?

[Macedo]

Not surprising after the season he just had.

[aaronmcguigan]

Expected better from the club than a 6 line thank you

[Apprentice to the Maestro]

I wonder if Brede asked for it because of his back problems?

[PeterFFC]

Real shame.
Love the man, even though he's past his best. Would have liked him to stay, but hopefully this means we have a replacement lined up.

[jeremyfulham]

Gutted ! Brede you will always be a legend all the best for the future.

[Berserker]

Wow that's a bit of a shock. Where has he gone?

[Craven Mad]

Ouch... Not had a good season, but a real shame nonetheless.

Is that the last of the Hodgson gang to go?

[Max Headroom]

He was great for us, apart from last season, when to be honest he really wasn't that good.

But remember the good times. He will always be a Fulham Great!!!!

So the first choice centre back pairing at the moment is Burn and Amorebietta

[aaronmcguigan]

Hes disappeared off the player profiles, yet the likes of Duff, Sidwell, Etheridge et al are still there?

[SimpleTactics]

Who does everyone think the new captain will be? Im guessing Parker but perhaps not.

[Macedo]

Real shame.
Love the man, even though he's past his best. Would have liked him to stay, but hopefully this means we have a replacement lined up.

Rio Ferdinand. ..lol

Expected better from the club than a 6 line thank you

Maybe the news has leaked and they thought that they should put something up quickly. I imagine, as with Duff, that there will be a photo album up in the next couple of days.

[filham]

This is hard to believe, he was so good for so long and he really was a class defender.

Also it is surprising that Hughes and Hangeland, who performed so well as partners should eave within a season of each other.

I wonder where Hangeland will go, it would  hurt if he joined Hughes at the Bush.

[grandad]

Really sad about this. A fit Hangeland would still have been  a force for us. I will never forget this true legend. One of our all time greats.
