Blackpool striker John Murphy has signed a new two-year contract with the Seasiders with the option for a further year.
The 28-year-old has been a regular goalscorer for the club since moving to Bloomfield Road from Chester City in August 1999.
He has found the net 95 times including ten goals this term.
Colin Hendry's improving side moved further away from the relegation zone on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory against play-off cahsing Brentford, and after the match Murphy said: "It was a good win against all the odds in the second half.
"Keith Southern has come up with two goals and we've now done the double over them, and they're riding high in the league.
"We were disappointed with our start of the season and now we just want to finish as high as we can in the table and take this form hopefully into next season."
