The 32-year-old had been in talks over an extended contract after finishing the season between the sticks, after Baggies No 1 Ben Foster suffered a knee injury.

Albion activated a year's option on his former deal at the end of the campaign to keep him at the Hawthorns, but have now secured his services in the longer term.

Myhill - the club's fourth longest-serving current player after Chris Brunt, James Morrison and Jonas Olsson said: "It's great to get my future sorted out.

"It's never easy being a goalkeeper when you're not in the team but the Premier League is the place you want to be in.

"I enjoyed the final few months of the season and tried to do my best during that period.

"Pre-season has been tough but now we are beginning to focus on making sure we are ready for that opening game of the season."

Head coach Tony Pulis added: "I'm delighted Boaz has signed his new deal. He had a smashing end to the season when he came into the side and has worked very hard throughout the summer."
