David Meyler signs two-year contract extension at Hull City

David Meyler has put pen to paper on a two-year contract extension at Hull City.

The 26-year-old midfielder, whose previous deal was due to expire at the end of the season, is now tied to the club until 2018.

"I'm delighted to extend my stay here," Meyler told the club's official website. "Now that everything is sorted, I'm looking forward to concentrating on making sure this club wins promotion back to the Premier League."

The Republic of Ireland international, who joined the Tigers from Sunderland in 2013 following a loan spell at the KC Stadium in the previous year, has made 126 appearances and scored 13 goals.
