Great news people. Ledley King has signed a new 2 year deal with the club.
Article from the official site:
The Club is delighted to announce that Ledley King has signed a new contract that will see him at White Hart Lane until 2012.
Our Club captain, currently preparing to head off on England duty after being named in the provisional squad for the World Cup finals in South Africa, began his career at the Club having graduated through our Academy and turned professional in July 1998.
The 29-year-old has since made 290 First Team appearances in our colours and was skipper of the side that won the Carling Cup in 2008 and reached the final the following year. His 20 appearances this season helped steer the team towards a highest Premier League finish and a Champions League qualification tie at the beginning of next season.
Ledley said: "I am delighted to have signed a new contract with Spurs. I have been here since I was a schoolboy and I could never see myself going anywhere else. This is where I want to continue playing my football.
"We've got the prospect of Champions League football to look forward to next season and with the quality of players we have I believe we are on the brink of something big.
"It is an exciting time for the Club with a new training ground being built and plans for a new stadium.
"I am enjoying my football and I want to be a part of what is happening here."
He's been terrific again this season and deserves the new deal. I just wonder with his well documented knee problmes if its a "pay as you play" deal? and/or will he have taken a pay-cut? That aside, this is great news and the best way to start the summer...
COYS!
