Diego Rico is delighted with his new deal at Real Sociedad.

The fullback has penned terms to 2025.

He said, "After my hesitant start, between injuries and not finding myself, I think that between the end of last season and this season I have made the club trust me to continue for two more years linked to this family.

"From the first day they welcomed me as one of the house, it's a pleasure to come to a club like this, with this humility, the work and the sacrifice that there is.'

The Burgos defender also said, "I think it's the objective now, those crosses, that last pass, it's what I need to help the team more in that aspect. I'm going to work and train as much as possible, I hope that little by little things will work out.

"When I came it was to continue my growth, play Europe, play games like this one against Roma. It's a step more in my career and we hope to continue taking more steps forward."
