Ryan Bennett signs two-year extension with Norwich City

Central defender Ryan Bennett has committed his future to Norwich City by signing a two-year contract extension with the club.

The 24-year-old's previous deal was due to expire at the end of the upcoming season, but he has now extended his stay at Carrow Road until the summer of 2017.

"I couldn't be happier to [sign]," Bennett told the club website.

"Personally and family wise, it's been an unbelievable two years with everyone around the club and I'm very happy to extend that."

Canaries boss Neil Adams added: "There are very few more aggressive defenders than him, especially in the air."

Norwich are back in the Championship after three years in the Premier League, and begin their season with a trip to newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.
