Indianapolis Colts, TY Hilton announce new deal

Wide receiver TY Hilton has signed a new contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

The 25-year-old was drafted by the Colts in 2012 and has scored 19 touchdowns in 46 games.

NFL Media claims that Hilton has signed a five-year deal, worth £41.6m.

General manager Ryan Grigson told the team's website: "It's a great day for the Indianapolis Colts, T.Y. Hilton and his family. We're extremely happy as an organization to ensure that TY will continue to be a part of our journey for many years to come.

"His daily excellence on and off the field is a shining example of an individual striving for greatness and what it truly means to be a Colt."

The Colts lost to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game last season.
