CONFIRMED: West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt extends contract at the Hawthorns

Long-serving West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt has signed a new contract with the club.

Brunt, who joined the Baggies from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007, has put pen to paper on a deal to keep him at The Hawthorns until the summer of 2018.

The 32-year-old's stay could be extended beyond that for another 12 months should he trigger a clause relating to appearances.

The deal will see Brunt, along with team mate James Morrison, become the first players to spend a decade at West Brom since Daryl Burgess (1987-2001).

Baggies head coach Tony Pulis said: "Chris has been a stalwart of this football club for a long time and he is a valued and popular member of the squad.
