Craig Dawson has committed his future to Premier League club West Brom by signing a new contract.
Versatile defender Dawson has agreed a three-year deal on improved terms, with his old contract having been set to expire at the end of the season.
Dawson spent most of last season playing at right-back for Tony Pulis side, but, with reported Manchester City target Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley missing the start of the season through injury, the 27-year-old has formed a strong partnership in central defence with Egypt international Ahmed Hegazi.
The Baggies have kept back-to-back clean sheets in wins over Bournemouth and Burnley and Dawson is keen to maintain the team s perfect early season record.
I ve always felt very settled here and I m delighted to have reached this agreement, said the Englishman, who has been at The Hawthorns since joining from Rochdale in 2010.
It has been quite a journey so far, but I still feel there is a lot more of the journey to come. I ve watched the club come through a challenging spell and like to feel I have played my part in helping us improve, step by step.
I try to be consistent and play my part for the team. But it never gets any easier at this level and as a footballer I know I ve got to keep improving. That s my target every day and every game.
Ahmed has done really well and I have enjoyed playing alongside him. It s been a good solid start from the team and we just want to keep these results coming. That s all we re focused on.
Next up for Pulis men, who beat Accrington Stanley in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, is the visit of the manager s former club Stoke City on Sunday.
