West Brom have announced that goalkeeper Boaz Myhill has agreed terms on a new two-year contract at the club, which will see him stay at the Hawthorns until 2017.

The former Wales international joined Albion from Hull City in 2010, but has since found regular first-team opportunities hard to come by.

Myhill was given an extended run in the side towards the end of last season following Ben Foster’s knee injury, and the club confirmed on Thursday that he has been rewarded with a new deal.

“It’s great to get my future sorted out,” he said. “It’s never easy being a goalkeeper when you’re not in the team but the Premier League is the place you want to be in.

“I enjoyed the final few months of the season and tried to do my best during that period.

“Pre-season has been tough but now we are beginning to focus on making sure we are ready for that opening game of the season.”

Manager Tony Pulis was delighted to come to an agreement with Myhill, and praised his pre-season preparation ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

“I’m delighted Boaz has signed his new deal,” added Pulis.

“He had a smashing end to the season when he came into the side and has worked very hard throughout the summer.”
