Ben Mee signs a new three-year contract at Burnley after helping the team earn promotion to the Premier League.

Burnley defender Ben Mee has signed a new three-year contract at Turf Moor.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Clarets from Manchester City in 2012, has extended his stay at the club after helping them earn Premier League promotion last season.

The defender was named the Players' Player of the Year by his teammates after keeping 20 clean sheets in 49 appearances.

"It's brilliant and I'm delighted to extend my stay here at Burnley," Mee told the club's official website. "After such a great season last year, and getting married in the summer, things just keep getting better and hopefully it will improve even more.

"I feel comfortable and at home here and we've been chatting for a while. Obviously it's been a busy summer, so it was something we put on a back burner, but it was always going to get done."

Mee's new deal will expire in the summer of 2019.
