Alfie Mawson: Wycombe re-sign defender following Fulham exit
- Published
Alfie Mawson had a loan spell with Bristol City in 2020-21 before leaving Fulham in May 2022
Wycombe have re-signed central defender Alfie Mawson on a one-year deal.
The 28-year-old former Chairboys player of the year said the "stars have aligned" after returning to Adams Park following his release by Fulham in May.
Mawson had been training with Gareth Ainsworth's League One side before signing a contract.
"You want to be at a club where you feel happy and you belong," he said. "I'm not coming here to float about.
"I'm committed here and want to be involved in this club's success going forward."

Ex-Reading academy prospect Mawson played a pivotal part in Wycombe's run to the 2015 League Two play-off final and then swept the board at Wanderers' end-of-season honours while on loan from Brentford.
Mawson subsequently helped Barnsley earn promotion to the Championship and moved to then-Premier League Swansea City in August 2016, becoming an unused member of England's senior squad for friendlies before the 2018 World Cup while with the Swans.
The former England Under-21 international joined Fulham in a deal worth up to £20 million in August 2018, but was loaned to Bristol City for much of the 2020-21 season and did not play regularly during the Cottagers' 2021-22 promotion campaign.
Wycombe host Shrewsbury Town in League One on Saturday.
