Brunt extends Baggies contract

27 July 2010 08:30
West Brom winger Chris Brunt has signed a new three-year contract with the Barclays Premier League newcomers. The Northern Ireland international has put pen to paper on a deal which will keep him at the Hawthorns until at least the summer of 2013. The 25-year-old becomes the third Baggies player in the past week to commit their long-term future to the club after Graham Dorrans and Youssouf Mulumbu. Brunt played a major role last season in helping Albion to regain their top-flight status and manager Roberto Di Matteo is confident he will play a big part during the forthcoming campaign. He said: "Brunty fully deserves his new deal as he is an important player for us both on and off the field. "He was a pillar of our promotion success last season and he has another important role to play this season as we look to establish ourselves in the Premier League."
