Mulumbu pens contract extension
Midfielder commits future to the Baggies. Youssouf Mulumbu has committed his future to the club after signing a two-and-a-half year contract, plus a year in the club's favour. The deal, which is his second updated contract in the space of seven months, is reward for his excellent performances on the pitch. The 24-year-old has been instrumental in Albion's success this season with a number of eye-catching performance in the middle of the park. Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo - a former midfielder himself - was pleased that midfield enforcer would be part of his future plans. "I'm delighted Youssouf has signed his new contract, which is fully deserved," said the Italian. "He's had a very good season so far and is a player who wants to learn. "He's a big favourite with the fans and I think that is down to the fact they recognise he has a specific role here. "He does a little bit of the dirty work for the team and is a player who gives us balance. "He also chips in with some goals, which aren't expected but are a bonus! "We're all looking forward to carrying on working with Youssouf for years to come."
