SCOTLAND international Russell Martin has signed a new three-year contract with Norwich City.

The defender, 27, joined Norwich from Peterborough in January 2010 and was an integral part of the side that secured promotion to the top flight.

"I am extremely delighted – everyone knows how I feel about playing for this football club," Martin said. "Since I first arrived here it has gone unbelievably well and I feel really settled in the area."

Norwich boss Chris Hughton added: "Russ has played his full part not just in helping us to achieve our finishing position last season, but in the club's massive successes over the previous three seasons and has certainly earned his new contract."
