“I`m obviously delighted to have signed a new contract to extend my time here at the club.
“I`ve enjoyed it here from the very first day and can see the club is moving in the right direction and I want to be part of it.
“Obviously our aim is to get back into the Premier League and I believe we can do it. We came so close last season but the lads are refreshed and focused and ready to go again.
“You can see that in the training and how close the boys are, we`ve just had a good trip to Portugal as a squad and we all feel the benefit of that.”
“I want to thank all the fans for their support for me while I`ve been here.
“They`ve been great with me in the stands and on social media. They were fantastic all last season and particularly at Wembley, where I`ve never seen support like it.
“Hopefully we can give them what they deserve this season.”
