Kieran Gibbs is pleased with his new deal at Arsenal.
After struggling with injuries earlier in his career, Gibbs is enjoying a fine season so far and was delighted to sign a contract extension last month.
"I've always been committed to the club ever since I was given my chance by the boss," he told arsenal.com. "I wanted to show him how dedicated I am. I hope that over the last few months I've done that.
"I'm happy with the first half of the season. I've been able to get in a good number of games and this is the closest I've had to a full season. Hopefully I can keep that going for the rest of the season and keep myself fit and strong.
"It's been important to get some momentum. It's what I've wanted to do for so long now and I'm happy just to be fit, playing and getting games."
