Man United goalkeeper Foster signs new four-year deal
Table of Contents
Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has signed an improved four-year deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2013.
The 26-year-old has made only 10 senior appearances for United since arriving from Stoke City in July 2005, having spent two seasons on loan at Watford and also enduring several fitness problems.
However, he emerged as a United favourite with his penalty shoot-out heroics in March's Carling Cup final victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
"I'm really happy to commit my future to the club," Foster told the club's official website.
"The team spirit here is fantastic and working alongside Edwin (van der Sar) and Tomasz (Kuszczak) has been a great influence on my career."
With United No 1 van der Sar approaching the latter stages of his career, Foster is well placed to make the step up into the first team.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "We are delighted that Ben has signed a new deal.
"Ben is seen as one of the best young goalkeepers in England and we genuinely see him as a successor to Edwin."
