Leicester City have confirmed that defender Ritchie De Laet has signed a four-year contract extension with the club.
The 25-year-old Belgian has committed himself to the Premier League newcomers until 2018.
De Laet, who has made 97 appearances for Leicester, arrived at the King Power Stadium from Manchester United in 2012.
"I'm so happy to sign a new deal here at Leicester," he told the club's official website. "I'm settled, my family has settled and hopefully it'll be a good thing for the club and me. I just want to finish this year well, stay in the Premier League and kick on from there.
"Leicester took a risk with me at the start when they brought me here without a lot of experience and they stuck with me, so now I'm doing the same thing with them.
"It's been nearly the same group since I've been here. Most have signed new contracts to stay with Leicester, so we're a group that are tied together and we'll fight together to stay in the Premier League."
De Laet has played 11 games for Leicester so far this season.
