Tottenham defender Michael
Dawson has signed a contract extension at White Hart
Lane.
The former Nottingham Forest man has extended his stay in North
London until 2012.
Dawson has established himself as a key member of Martin Jol's side
in the last few seasons and he has also broken into the England
set-up.
The 23-year-old was delighted to win a new long-term deal.
"It's really great that the club has looked to reward me with a new
contract," Dawson told the club's official website.
"I still had four years left on my contract so this represents a
further commitment on both my and the club's behalf."
Jol was happy to see Dawson pledge his long-term future to the club
and hailed him as Spurs' Player of the Season.
"I am delighted that Michael has signed a further extension to his
contract," said Jol.
"He is exactly the kind of player that will be part of a bright
future for our club. I've said it before and maybe there are other
contenders as well, but he is my player of the season."
