Midfielder Ben Whiteman has signed a new "long-term" deal at Championship club Preston North End.
He has put pen to paper as his previous contract was due to expire at the end of this season.
Whiteman has been a regular for the Lilywhites since joining from Doncaster for an undisclosed fee in January 2021.
The 27-year-old was at Manchester United's academy but made his league debut for Sheffield United before moving on to Doncaster.
Preston manager Ryan Lowe said: "We've been in discussions for a little while because we wanted to make sure the deal was right for both parties, and we're all obviously pleased with the outcome.
"He's shown his footballing credentials here in the past few years with the quality he possesses and by leading the team on several occasions.
"He's a talented player who we feel can keep developing and help us in the next few years."
