"I'm really happy to extend my contract with the club," said Kouhyar. "Hopefully I can keep going and do well for the club.

"Being in and around the first team, getting a couple of appearances and starting games as well.

"To come on and make my debut against Chesterfield was crazy, I still remember it clearly.

"Then to score a goal is something you dream about for so long so to finally do it against Grimsby was amazing.
