"During his four seasons at Fulham, Costa Rican striker Bryan Ruiz was something of an enigma, at his best a classy, silky, creative fulcrum, but would often struggle with consistancy. Following his 2011 transfer from FC Twente, he would net 13 times in 108 appearances, a spell which was punctuated by a loan stint at PSV Eindhoven for the second half of the 2013/14 campaign."
"I remember on the last day of the transfer window, Fulham called with an offer. Honestly, I didn't want to go at first, but Martin Jol, who'd been Ajax's manager, convinced me to go to England to see the city and the club. When I got there, I saw Fulham's facilities, got a feel for English football, and since the manager knew me from the Eredivisie, I felt confident about the move."
Bryan Ruiz joined Fulham in 2011 from FC Twente, signed by Martin Jol. Over four seasons he scored 13 goals in 108 appearances and experienced a loan to PSV Eindhoven during the second half of 2013/14. Ruiz displayed moments of class, creativity and technical flair but struggled with consistency. Managerial turnover after Jol's 2013 departure caused his Fulham career to start and stop, and Rene Meulensteen replaced Jol during a relegation season. Ruiz prioritized match time ahead of the 2014 World Cup, viewing the final six months before the tournament as crucial for fitness and selection.
