Burnley Football Club have announced ever popular central defender Ben Mee has signed a new three year deal with the Clarets. 

Ben was last season's fans' and Burnley players' player of the year. He had one year remaining on his current deal but has decided to extend his stay at Turf Moor to at least 2019.

Ben was originally signed along with Kieron Trippier from Manchester City and said, “It’s brilliant and I’m delighted to extend my stay here at Burnley. 

“After such a great season last year, and getting married in the summer, things just keep getting better and hopefully it will improve even more. 

“I feel comfortable and at home here and we’ve been chatting for a while. Obviously it’s been a busy summer, so it was something we put on a back burner, but it was always going to get done.”

Here's hoping Michael Keane follows suit? (TEC).
