Boaz Myhill is delighted for Ben Foster over his new long-term deal with West Bromwich Albion.
Myhill is full of praise for Foster, and is delighted that his friend has just signed up to Albion for another four years.
He told Express & Star: "It's brilliant. It's a real statement of intent from the club, and it's a great signing for Ben as well because in my opinion he really deserved it.
"He played a massive part in keeping us in the league last year when it wasn't nice, when it wasn't easy to turn up and play, so it's well deserved.
Myhill, who signed for Albion in 2010 but spent the 2011-12 season on loan at neighbours Birmingham City, added: "My role is that I play when I need to play, I need to make sure that I'm ready.
"I enjoy seeing some of the things that Ben does on a day-to-day basis - it's scary.
"It's good to watch and it can only make me a better player, and I still believe that I'm a better keeper here now than I was when I came."
