Blackburn Rovers defender Martin Olsson has signed a new five-year contract at Ewood Park.
The 22-year-old Sweden international has been rewarded with a new long-term deal after making 27 first-team appearances last season.
He has followed fellow rising defensive star Phil Jones in committing his future to the club in recent weeks.
"Signing a new contract is easy for me after the enjoyment of last season," the defender-turned-winger told the club's official website.
"I gained a lot of confidence, through both the management and my team-mates, and I thought I improved game by game.
"I got my chance and I felt I took it and it doesn't matter to me whether I am seen as a left winger or left back, as long as I am playing and contributing then I am happy.
