Florentin Pogba has signed a two-year contract extension at St Etienne that will keep him at the club until 2018.
The 24-year-old defender, elder brother of Juventus midfielder Paul, enjoyed a breakthrough season at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard last term, making 16 Ligue 1 appearances.
"I thank the club, leaders, coaches and staff for giving me their trust," he told the club's official website.
"I have made good progress since arriving at St Etienne. My start was a bit difficult because I was injured.
“Then (manager) Christophe Galtier offered me the opportunity to play and I seized my chance.
"I learned a lot off (fellow ASSE defenders) Loic Perrin and Moustapha Bayal Sall.
"My only goal is to play. In St Etienne, I have great challenges ahead and I hope that the club will continue to move up."
Guinea international Pogba joined St Etienne from Sedan in 2012 and was loaned back to the lower league outfit for a season before returning to his parent club where he made his Ligue 1 debut in December 2013.
