London - New Zealand captain Winston Reid has banished speculation about his West Ham United future by signing a new six-and-a-half-year contract, the Premier League club announced on Thursday.
Reid's contract was due to expire at the end of the season and he had been linked with a move away from the club, but he is now committed to Upton Park until 2021.
"It's one of those things that took a bit of time, but we got there in the end and I'm very happy to be here for the next part of my career. I'm looking forward to it," Reid said in a statement on the West Ham website.
