Winger Chris Brunt has signed a new three-year contract with West Bromwich Albion.

The 25-year-old Northern Ireland international is the latest player to pledge his future to the Baggies ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Team-mates Graham Dorrans and Youssouf Mulumbu have recently penned new deals at The Hawthorns and Brunt is delighted to have followed suit.

"I'm delighted to sign this new deal because I feel really settled at the club, just like my family does in the area," he told the club's official website.

"The club is heading in the right direction and this is a nice bonus ahead of what I hope will be a big season both for the team and on a personal level.

"I've won promotion with the club twice now and I want to top that by helping to establish Albion in the Premier League.

"That's the challenge facing the coaching staff and players and if we all pull together I believe we can have a successful season.

"The fans have been great to me during the past three years and I'm sure they'll get right behind us next season when we will need them more than ever."

Brunt joined the Baggies in a £3million deal from Sheffield Wednesday in August 2007.
