Sean Dillon has committed his future to Dundee United by signing a new two-year contract at Tannadice.
The captain's previous deal had been due to expire at the end of the current campaign.
However, the 31-year-old defender has now decided to remain with the Terrors until the summer of 2017.
"I love playing for Dundee United. This club is obviously a massive part of my life and the Dundee area is my family home," he told the club's official website.
"I have had many happy days here and have enjoyed success. I am delighted to get the contract signed and can now look forward to helping the club achieve even more success."
Dillon joined United in 2007 from Shelbourne and he has gone on to make 293 appearances for the club.
