Gareth McAuley, Jonas Olsson sign new one-year deals at West Bromwich Albion

Gareth McAuley and Jonas Olsson sign new one-year contracts at West Bromwich Albion.

West Bromwich Albion have announced that Gareth McAuley and Jonas Olsson have put pen to paper on new contracts.

Both of the defenders' existing deals were due to expire at the end of the season, but the club have shown their intent to keep hold of the duo by offering them one-year extensions.

McAuley told the club's official website: "It's great for both Jonas and I. When you're settled somewhere and you enjoy it, and you enjoy the football and the people you work with, it's an easy decision to make.

"The time Jonas has been here has been fantastic and I've really enjoyed the time I've had with him and with the club. Speaking to the club and the plans they have moving forward, hopefully we can step on.

"Since I've been here it's always been about progression, we staggered a little bit for a couple of years, but I think this season we've progressed again and hopefully with a few additions we can establish ourselves as a top-10 club."

Olsson added: "It's good to be part of the squad for another year, it makes it nine for me and six for Gareth. It's nice to be part of this club and I'm happy to play with Gareth for another year.

"When you make decisions about your future, there's certain things you weigh up and, for me, it really has been about being part of this group for another year.

"Both of us have been here a long time but I think we can agree that the dressing room we have now really is something special. I'm really happy and proud to be part of this team and this league for another season."

McAuley has made 171 appearances for the Baggies since his arrival in 2011, while Olsson has featured 247 times since joining the club in 2008.
