Everton's French striker Louis Saha has signed a two-year contract extension to keep him at Goodison Park until the summer of 2012.

The 31-year-old has scored 21 goals in 55 appearances for the Toffees since his arrival in the summer of 2008, having shrugged off a number of injuries which blighted his career at Manchester United.

He told the club's official website: "It was an easy decision. You always think carefully, but it didn't take me long to know I wanted to stay because I have enjoyed my time here and I want to be part of the future of Everton.

"It is a pleasure and an honour to stay here. At certain stages in your career you look at where you are going and by staying at Everton I feel I am going up in my career.

"I appreciate the way the Everton fans support the team and the way they support me all the time.

"It is a pleasure to be here and see the way the fans work for the team, they help all the players. It feels like a family and I really feel a part of it."
