Hermann Hriedarsson is delighted with his new one-year deal at Portsmouth.

"Signing for Portsmouth again was always going to happen, even though I had many other options," he said.

"My family and I feel great in this place. We have been here for two fun years and I have plenty more in me to play in the Premier League.

"Middlesbrough showed the most interest. Rangers and Celtic were also keen but that did not go as far.

"Portsmouth promised, as far as they could, that they wanted to strengthen the team for next season. Their goal is to keep doing well in the league."
