Gareth McAuley signs a new one-year deal with West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion centre-back Gareth McAuley has signed a new one-year deal, the club has confirmed.

The 37-year-old has been an ever-present for the Baggies in the Premier League this season and has been an integral part of the side's impressive rise to eighth in the table.

"It's very pleasing," McAuley told the West Brom website. "I'd like to thank the club, the gaffer and everyone here who helps me to stay fit to be able to play at this level.

"When I signed I just wanted to play in the Premier League and I knew that wasn't a given when I came here. But I've still got that desire sitting here today. I don't think that will leave me. It's a good thing because it keeps you motivated, keeps you pushing forward.

"I've based my decision on physically being able to do it. If I didn't think I could I wouldn't hang about. The tests don't show any signs that I can't cope with it.

"I've worked for a living outside the football bubble and I will more than likely have to go back there one day. But as long as you can do this, the best job in the world, then you should continue and I'm not going to turn by back on it."

McAuley has made 186 top-flight appearances for the Midlands outfit since joining from Ipswich Town in 2011.
