Marco Reus signs Borussia Dortmund contract extension

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that midfielder Marco Reus has signed a new contract with the club until 2019.

The Germany international's previous deal with the Bundesliga strugglers contained a release clause that could have seen him leave in the summer.

The 25-year-old had been linked with a host of clubs across Europe, including Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Reus joined Dortmund from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012 and was named the club's Player of the Year last season.
