“I’m grateful to the club for the efforts they’ve made to keep me. I feel good in this club, in this team and I’m really looking forward to continue working with Steve.
“He built a great squad, who enjoy working together, and he and the club have great ambitions for the future and I’m really happy to be a part of it.”
