William Gallas has signed a two-year contract extension with Tottenham, which sees his existing deal run until 2013.

The centre-back joined White Hart Lane on a free transfer after leaving Arsenal at the end of last season and has been a key figure in Harry Redknapp’s defence this term.

The 33-year-old had originally signed for Tottenham on a one-year deal but after forging a partnership with Michael Dawson, the Frenchman could now see out his career in English football.

A statement on Tottenham’s official website read: “The club is delighted to announce that William Gallas has signed a two-year contract extension which runs until 2013.‬ ‪

“The experienced France defender has impressed at the heart of our defence since joining the Club in the summer following the expiration of his contract at Arsenal at the end of the 2009/10 campaign.

“A two-time Premier League title winner with Chelsea, William has made 28 appearances in our colours to date as well as captaining the side on occasions in both the Premier League and Champions League this season.”
