“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract," he told the club's official website.

“I’ve made no secret of how much I’ve enjoyed it here since the moment I signed.

“I feel so comfortable and valued at this club and I think I’ve played some of my best football of recent years here, which has shown how much I’ve enjoyed it.

“We’ve only been in talks about the new contract for a few weeks so it has come around pretty quickly.

“I’m happy to have that security behind me and I’m looking forward to the next two or three years.”
