Keane commits to Spurs

12 April 2012

Tottenham striker Robbie Keane has signed a new five-year contract, which commits him to the club until 2012.

The Republic of Ireland forward scored 22 goals last season, bringing his total in a Spurs shirt to 84 since joining from Leeds in August 2002.

Keane, 26, told the club website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com: "I have felt really settled and happy at Spurs and that is probably one of the reasons I have played the best football of my career here."

He added: "It is an exciting time to be at the club and I am looking forward to even better seasons ahead."

Chairman Daniel Levy said: "Robbie has been an influential part of our club for five years and this further commitment, on the part of both him and the club, is a recognition of that. He is an individual who is loyal and professional and we are delighted he will be with us long term.

"The key to retaining top players is to agree long-term contracts. We have now done so with several of our existing squad, extending the contracts of Aaron Lennon, Michael Dawson and Tom Huddlestone, as well as having contracted newer players on long contracts, such as Dimitar Berbatov and Didier Zokora."
