Samaras agrees new three-year deal

Celtic striker Georgios Samaras has signed a new three-year deal to keep him at the club until 2014.

The 26-year-old Greek had been free to speak to other clubs as his contract was due to run out in the summer.

Samaras's new commitment to the Glasgow club comes the day after team-mate mark Wilson penned a new one-year extension.

"I never wanted to leave. I don't care about other clubs, and I gave the manager my word I wouldn't sign a pre-contract." said Samaras.

"I was focused on how to get a deal with Celtic. I want to stay at this club and I am really happy about the deal. I have been four years at the club and the support I have from the people inside and outside the club is magnificent. It is a big club who tries to win every game and win trophies and that is the reason I signed for another three years."
