Ben Foster has signed a new deal with West Bromwich Albion.
England goalkeeper Foster has handed Albion a major pre-season boost by putting pen to paper on a new four-year contract.
Head coach Alan Irvine said: "This is fantastic news for everyone connected with the club as Ben's an extremely important player for us - both on and off the pitch.
"He's a great personality, a great character and leads by example.
"This is a magnificent signing for the club. Ben is one of the best keepers in the country, which he showed when he played really well for England against Costa Rica at the World Cup.
"Ben is extremely professional, which is infectious in training, as he demands high standards of himself and others."
Foster admitted it was a simple decision to put pen to paper on a new deal.
He said: "When I signed here permanently, I said this is the sort of club I could see myself finishing my career at. And that's exactly how I felt when the club said they wanted to negotiate a new contract.
"It was something I wanted to get sorted as soon as possible. I'm very happy here.
"It was a very obvious and easy decision for me and my family."
