The 26-year-old told the official club’s website: “I am delighted to have signed a new contract. I am happy that the manager and the chairman have showed their belief in me to give me a new deal.
“I have always believed in my own ability and when I am given the opportunity I will take it and hopefully I have showed that.
“I had to be patient when I first arrived, but once I got the chance I never looked back and hopefully I can now push on and do even better than what I did last season.”
