Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy has signed a new contract at the club which will see him stay at Carrow Road until 2017.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper has become one of England’s top keepers since The Canaries returned to the Premier League a few years ago and his performances in recent season’s have even caught the eye of Chelsea, who offered ÂŁ8million for his services in the Summer.
“I’m more than happy to commit my long-term future to the club,” Ruddy told the club website.
“I’ve broken into the England squad while at Norwich, and without the opportunity they gave me, I wouldn’t have been anywhere near it. I was in a bit of a no-man’s land before I joined the club and they took a gamble on me.
“Thankfully I think it’s paid off for both sides and now I’m just looking to keep up my form.”
