Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh signs a contract extension with the team reportedly worth up to $14m (£9m).

Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh has signed a contract extension with the NFC North side.

The 25-year-old was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 Draft, making the Pro Bowl in his first year in the league after becoming the first kicker to make 10 consecutive 50-yard field goals in his rookie campaign.

Walsh told the team's website: "I'm extremely excited to be a part of the Minnesota Vikings moving forward. I'd like to thank Rick Spielman, the Wilf family, Coach Zimmer, Coach Priefer and Rob Brzezinski for giving me this opportunity.

"I'm proud to be able to stay with the team that drafted me coming out of college and I look forward to what is in store for the future of this organisation."

General manager Spielman added: "His consistency on kickoffs and on long range field goals can help change the game for our team and we're excited for his future here in Minnesota. This extension stays true to our philosophy of drafting young talent, developing them in our system and rewarding their success."

The team did not disclose the terms of the deal, but ESPN reports that the contract is a four-year extension worth $14m (£9m), with $5.25m (£3.4m) guaranteed.
