[LNB]Manager Phil Brown said: "Over the last two or three years, I have seen that Boaz Myhill is a Premier League goalkeeper, there is no doubt about that. [LNB]"He stepped up to the plate very admirably last season, albeit in difficult circumstances with Matt Duke breathing down his neck all year. [LNB]"I know Dukey got himself into the first team for six or seven games and that must have surprised Bo at the time, but he has come back stronger. [LNB]"I'm delighted to get Bo tied up to a decent contract long term." [LNB]Brown added there could be "one or two more announcements in the near future" regarding the contracts of other players. [LNB]News of Myhill's deal comes soon after the club completed the signing of former Celtic striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. [LNB][LNB][LNB]
