Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia has signed a new four-year deal with the club, extending his stay at Old Trafford until the end of the 2014-15 season.
The 25-year-old has scored 10 goals in 69 appearances since joining United from Wigan Athletic in 2009.
He told the club website: “I am delighted to stay at United. I hope that I can continue to develop.
“I am looking forward to making my contribution to helping this squad compete for more trophies.”
Valencia started only eight games last season after suffering a broken ankle and missed the recent pre-season tour to the United States with a separate ankle injury.
But despite the setbacks, manager Sir Alex Ferguson was still pleased to have him on board for another four years.
“Antonio has made a fantastic contribution since his arrival. His speed, crossing ability and versatility have been a big asset for us,” Ferguson said.
“He has a quiet, unassuming way of going about his business, which is underlined by great strength of character – as his recovery from such a bad injury last season proves.”
