Town have confirmed that defender Alex Bruce has signed a new two-year deal, as widely reported this morning. The contract also includes an option for a further season.

Boss Roy Keane told the club site: "I had a chat with Alex last week and I told him that I was keen for him to stay at the football club.

"He made it clear that he wanted to stay, so it was down to trying to sort a deal out and I'm delighted we've achieved that."

Bruce had turned down an earlier offer of a two-year deal in January.
