Felix Kroos has signed a new contract with Werder Bremen.

The 23-year-old, who is the brother of Real Madrid midfielder Toni, was due to become a free agent next summer.

However, the younger Kroos sibling has now committed his future to Bremen for another three years.

"I'm very happy here and I want to establish myself further in this club. Personally, I think I have the best prospects here in Bremen," he told the club's official website.

"I'm pleased to continue being part of this great team. We have a fantastic team spirit within the team and you can sense every day that we're pursuing a common goal."

Kroos joined Bremen in the summer of 2010 from Hansa Rostock.
