David Fox Signs For 2 More Years!

28-year-old City midfielder David Fox has tonight signed a new deal that takes him to 2014, with the option of another year.

Fox, who joined the club following promotion from League One in 2010 has become a firm fans favourite, coming 3rd in the player of the season contest behind Grant Holt and John Ruddy.

Fox said: "I`m delighted to be here for the next couple of years and now I can push on from what has been a very successful time for myself and for the Club.

"To end last season by coming third in the Player of the Season award was really touching and I was humbled by the whole thing.

"The lads played really well last year, and it was a collective effort from everyone. It`s up to me to play as often as I can now.

"I`m now fully fit and have been for a couple of weeks. I`m nowhere near match fit, but you only get that by training and playing games.

"It`s up to me to take my chance when I get it. I`ve now got to impress the Manager and show him why I should be in the team.

"I was really pleased to get 90 minutes against Scunthorpe in the Capital One Cup. It was a competitive game and now I`m raring to go when I am called upon."

Fox has made 68 appearances for City, scoring once, against Millwall.

Chris Hughton said, 'It`s great to now have him back in training, fully fit and available for selection. I'm thrilled he's signed a new contract.'

In a quiet week, this is fantastic news and ensures consistency of personnel in midfield for another couple of years yet.
