Chris Brunt signs new West Brom contract
Chris Brunt has pledged his long-term future to West Brom by signing a new three-year contract.
Earlier this summer, the Baggies activated a 12-month option on the midfielder's pre-existing contract.
And now Brunt has now put pen to paper on new and improved terms.
The 29-year-old Northern Ireland international's three-year deal means he is committed to the Hawthorns until June 2017.
West Brom head coach Alan Irvine said: "I am delighted we have extended Chris' contract by a further two years.
"He's our captain, has great quality and experience and is clearly a very, very important player for us.
"Chris is an influential figure both on and off the pitch. He has the respect of all the players and staff and is a top class professional."
Brunt is currently the Baggies' second longest-serving first-team regular, having moved to the Hawthorns in August 2007.
He will make his 250th appearance for the club in Saturday's Premier League opener with Sunderland.
He said: "Obviously, we've had some really good times and we've also had a couple of bad ones.
"But 99 per cent of my time here has been really good, I've enjoyed it, we've had some really good results, great seasons.
"I'm just looking to build on that and hopefully keep us in the Premier League for the remainder of the contract that I've got.
"That's got to be my goal personally, to help the team achieve that."
