Brentford goalkeeper Richard Lee has signed a fresh one-year deal with the club.
The 31-year-old, who joined the Bees from Watford in 2010, has agreed terms that will keep him at Griffin Park until the end of next season.
Brentford boss Mark Warburton says that Lee has earned the deal after recovering well from an operation.
"Richard Lee has been offered a contract extension in recognition of the excellent work and consistent level of performance he has displayed all season," Warburton told talkSPORT.
"Having gone through the required surgery and ensuing rehabilitation, Rich has worked tirelessly to ensure he is in a position to push hard for the number one jersey and there is no doubt that it is this pressure being applied that has resulted in the outstanding form of David Button over the last few weeks.
"David is acutely aware that Rich is hungry for the starting place and whilst they are great friends off the pitch, it is this level of competition that is driving them both forward."
Lee has made five appearances for the League One outfit this season.
