Portsmouth right-back Lauren says he is content at Fratton Park, despite having been handed only limited opportunities in his first season on the South Coast.
The 31-year-old has made 27 appearances since his arrival from Arsenal, but has made just five starts since the turn of the year.
The Cameroon international told The News: "To get 22 clean sheets in a season is fantastic, the defence has been tremendous.
"Because of them we should end up in the top six of the league and they deserve the credit for that.
"I haven't been playing a lot and that is down to them, they have been outstanding. It has been so, so difficult to get in the side ahead of them.
"The backbone of this side has been the defence.
"I've had some injuries so you can't be consistent and focused and be 100 per cent, but I plan to be next season.
"I have got one more year left and am not expecting to move. I want to play in Europe here."
