Republic of Ireland midfielder Alan Browne has committed his future to Preston North End after signing a contract extension.
The 25-year-old's contract was due to run out in the summer, but the new extension adds three years to his existing deal.
The deal will bring him up to ten years with Championship side, where he's made 273 appearances.
“I have been here a long time and it is such a relief to get it over the line and have a few more years of me being at this fantastic club and hopefully we can make the next coming years successful,” Browne told the club website.
“It is time to take the next step with my career. I had different opinions from different people and I wanted to gather as many opinions as I possibly could. I felt that this was the right decision for me and hopefully I can progress with my own career, as well as with the football club.”
Manager Alex Neil added: “He has been an ever-present since I have been here and his will to win, what the club means to him, how long he has been there, he is the right guy to take that armband forward and I am delighted he has committed himself to doing that for the next few years.”
