Former Coventry City captain Richard Keogh has extended his time at Derby County.
Keogh has signed a new three year deal with the Rams on his 30th birthday and told the Derby Telegraph's Steve Nicholson: "I'm thrilled to extend my time at Derby County by another three years.
"I've loved my four years at the club so far and I get the feeling that even more exciting times are around the corner.
"I am delighted that the manager has shown faith in me and I am really enjoying working with him and the rest of the staff.
"I enjoy coming to work every day at our training facilities, which are second to none and are really valued by all of the squad, while the support of the fans, to both myself and the team, is nothing short of amazing.
"With this contract signed and sealed I'm really looking forward to knuckling down and helping the club try to achieve promotion this season.
"We have a great squad and a strong belief that we can achieve something this season."
