Midfielder Craig Gardner signs a new two-year deal with West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion have announced that Craig Gardner has signed a new two-year deal at the club.

The midfielder, who joined the Baggies from Sunderland in 2014, was due to come to the end of his contract next summer.

However, the club have now offered the 29-year-old fresh terms, which includes a 12-month option that can be triggered at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

"It's brilliant for me to extend my contract, especially at a time when the club are bringing in some top players," Gardner told the club's official website.

"This is a great family club and the lads are brilliant to play with. I just want to keep playing Premier League football alongside some top players that can hopefully help us climb into the top 10."

Gardner has made 81 appearances for West Brom so far, scoring six goals.
