Cristian Molinaro has signed a new, five-year contract at Juventus.

The defender is now tied to Juve until 2013.

The 25-year-old started his career at Salernitana before signing for Juve in 2005.

After being initially loaned out to Siena, where he made his Serie A debut, Molinaro was called back to base in the summer of 2007 and made 30 appearances last term.
