"Myself and the gaffer sat down two or three months ago and he said he wanted me to stay and I said I wanted to stay as well. I am just glad we have come to an agreement.
"We have got the Uefa Cup to look forward to next season. The manager has got the right blend at the minute and that is important."
It is a blow for new boss Chris Hutchings, who will now turn his attention elsewhere.
