West Brom boosted as Mulumbu signs new deal

Youssouf Mulumbu has signed a new-and-improved contract with West Bromwich Albion. The 24-year-old DR Congo midfielder has committed his future to the Baggies until June 2015 by penning a three-year deal, plus a further year's option in the club's favour.

Boss Roy Hodgson told the club's official websited: "It is great that Youssouf has been rewarded for his efforts last season and that we have been able to persuade him that his future lies with West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

"We're looking forward to seeing him build on his success of being named Player of the Season - and trying to confirm it again this season."

Sporting & technical director, Dan Ashworth, added: "I'm delighted Youssouf has signed another new contract.

"I can remember when he first joined us, as a practically unknown from PSG two-and-a-half years ago, and he has come on in leaps and bounds since then.

"As we have previously stated, we are aiming to strengthen our squad this summer - not dismantle it - and we believe Youssouf will be a key player for us again this season.

"I'm sure he will now get his head down and continue the improvement he has shown since joining us."
