Despite a last-ditch attempt from former club Tottenham to hijack the deal earlier on deadline day, the 31-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal at Craven Cottage that will run until 2014.
Speaking to his new club's official website, Berbatov said: “I’m delighted to have signed for Fulham and I look forward to playing under Martin Jol once again.
"As soon as I was aware of Fulham’s interest my decision to join was an easy one to make. I’m impressed with the set up here and the people have made me feel welcome.
"There is a close and personal feel around the club and I can’t wait to get started.”
Jol was delighted at his capture of the Bulgarian, speaking of his admiration for the player's talents.
“Dimitar is a player I’ve always admired. He did well for me at Spurs and I’m sure that he will do well here at Fulham," he said.
"He is a player of great quality and technical ability who will give me the attacking option I’ve been looking for. When he’s not scoring goals, his ingenuity often leads chances being created for his team-mates.
"I’m delighted that we’ve been able to convince him to come to us, as there was a lot of attention from other clubs.”
