Kevin Foley signs four-year contract extension at Wolves

Foley has made 161 appearances since joining from Luton in 2007

Wolves midfielder Kevin Foley has signed an improved four-year contract extension at Molineux.

The 28-year-old, who had two years remaining of his previous deal, has committed himself to the club until the summer of 2015.

The Republic of Ireland international has made 161 appearances since moving from Luton four years ago.

"I've extended my future here by four years and I was really happy the club wanted to do that," Foley said.

"I've spent four years here now - two in the Championship and two in the Premier League - and feel like I've made good progress. That's something I want to continue.

Foley - who can also play at right-back - follows skipper Karl Henry and defender Richard Stearman in signing new long-term deals in the past few months.

He added: "A lot of the lads have been happy to commit their futures and I think the key to that is how well everyone gets on and with the management staff as well."

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy said: "I'm delighted that Foles has signed a new contract.

"He is another of those players who joined us in the Championship, helped the team win promotion and has continued to develop year after year.

"He can always be relied upon for the consistent levels of his performances, and it's great to have another key member of our squad commit his long term future to the club."
