Klaas-Jan Huntelaar pens new Schalke deal

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has signed a new two-year extension at Schalke, seemingly ending any speculation of a move away from the German club in January.

The Dutch forward's contract was due to expire next summer but he has put pen-to-paper on a new deal that will see him stay at Die Konigsblauen until 2015.

"I have thought long and hard about this decision and I am very grateful to Schalke 04 for giving me this time. But now I have made ​​the decision and I have the best feeling," said the 29-year-old.

"I've always felt comfortable at Schalke, the club and its fans and I now want to send out a positive sign because I believe in our team."

Huntelaar joined Schalke in August 2010 after an unsuccessful spell at AC Milan.
