West Brom defender Gareth McAuley is close to agreeing a new contract.
The 37-year-old Northern Ireland international's current deal is set to expire in the summer but talks are nearing a conclusion that will see him sign a 12-month extension.
McAuley has played a key role in Albion's success so far this campaign, playing every minute of every game as West Brom have exceeded expectations to become surprise contenders for European football ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns.
He is also the club's joint-leading scorer along with striker Salomon Rondon after netting his seventh goal in last weekend's win against Bournemouth.
