West Ham United forward Ricardo Vaz Te has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2015.
The Portuguese handed in a transfer request at Upton Park in the summer after complaining about a lack of regular first-team football.
However, there were no suitors for him and he has ended up featuring seven times for them in the Premier League this term, scoring twice before being sidelined with a dislocated shoulder.
Vaz Te now seems to be committed to the Hammers' cause and has put pen to paper on a new one-year contract with Sam Allardyce's side, who have released Croatia international Mladen Petric this afternoon.
Vaz Te, 27, has scored 19 goals in 55 games for the Hammers since joining them in 2012.
