Nottingham Forest defender Eric Lichaj has signed an extended contract which keeps him at the Championship club until the summer of 2017.

The 24-year-old full-back has been a regular under new manager Stuart Pearce this season, playing 24 games so far.

Lichaj signed a two-year deal at the City Ground in June 2013 following his release by Aston Villa.

The USA international made his 50th Forest appearance in the 3-1 defeat home against Birmingham City on Sunday.
