Middlesbrough midfielder Adam Forshaw has signed a new four-year contract which keeps him at the Riverside Stadium until 2020.
The 24-year-old has made more than 50 Boro appearances since arriving from Wigan Athletic in January 2015.
Forshaw has joined Ben Gibson, George Friend and Daniel Ayala in putting pen to paper on a fresh deal in the wake of promotion to the Premier League.
Forshaw said: "I'm delighted. I've enjoyed my time at the club since I've been here. My team-mates, the staff, the fans, everyone around the area has been really supportive.
"It was a bit of a no-brainer when the contract came up. The club spoke about it to me and my agent at the back end of last season.
"It was nice to go into the summer break knowing that if I came back and worked hard, hopefully that would be on the table.
"Fortunately, we've got it done early in the season, so I can put it to one side and concentrate on the games."
Boro boss Aitor Karanka said: "Adam is the kind of player who always wants to play. For him, he doesn't care if it's one minute, 30 seconds or 90 minutes, he goes on to the pitch with the same intensity.
"When you see him, you know that he is more than capable of playing in the Premier League, and he has shown everybody that he can play."
