Chris Brunt: West Brom's Northern Ireland international signs extended Albion deal

West Bromwich Albion's Northern Ireland international Chris Brunt has signed a new extended contract tying him to The Hawthorns until at least 2018.

The deal will automatically extend for a year, until July 2019, if he triggers an unspecified appearance clause.

"Chris has been a stalwart of this club for a long time," said boss Tony Pulis.

"He is a valued and popular member of the squad. He has shown great character to return from his injury in the manner he has. His form has been terrific."

Utility man Brunt, 32, who can play full-back, winger or in midfield, has scored 45 goals in 331 appearances for Albion since arriving from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007.
