The 26-year-old has been instrumental in Wednesday’s fine start to the season, which sees them in seventh place in the Championship.

He initially signed a 12-month deal when leaving Crystal Palace in the summer.

But his performances have earned him a three-and-a-half year deal to leave the former Aston Villa midfielder “over the moon”.

“Since I’ve come here it’s been brilliant and I’ve loved every minute of it,” he said.

“The fans have taken to me and I’ve enjoyed everything. The lads have been brilliant so it was never in doubt, it was just a matter of getting it signed and sealed.

“Today is the day and I’m over the moon.

“It was just a matter of when it was going to get done because I wanted to stay, the club wanted me to stay so it was always going to happen.”
