Northern Ireland goalkeeper Trevor Carson has signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal with Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.
The 31-year-old has extended his stay at Fir Park despite pre-contract offers from Livingston and St Mirren.
Carson - who had also been attracting interest from Aberdeen - joined Motherwell in 2017.
It is a boost for the keeper who returned to football last year after recovering from deep vein thrombosis.
"I am delighted to be staying with the club,” said Carson.
"It was a no-brainer to stay with a team that is continuing to constantly improve.
"I will keep working hard for the squad as we try and push in in the second half of the season and beyond.”
Well manager Stephen Robinson added: “It’s a massive plus for us to retain a goalkeeper of Trevor’s quality on a long-term contract.
“Trevor has shown me in training he is back to his best again after his unfortunate illness.
“We are delighted he has shown his commitment to the club for the next two-and-a-half years, even though he had no shortage of offers from other clubs at our level.
“I’m convinced Trevor will go from strength to strength and continue to push for more international recognition. It’s also shows our intent as a club to continually build the squad and keep moving forward."
