London - Former Trinidad and Tobago captain Dwight Yorke has signed a one-year contract extension with Sunderland, the club revealed Wednesday.
Manager Roy Keane said: "Yorkie's experience on and off the pitch was invaluable last season.
"He's a great character to have in the dressing room and around the training ground and he'll have a part to play for us next season."
Yorke joined Sunderland on transfer deadline day in August 2007 and has played 54 games for them.
"It's been a tremendous two years for me at Sunderland, I've got to know the staff and the fans have been great towards me," the 36 year old said.
"In the end it was a straightforward decision. I had one or two things to think about and I knew needed to make a decision.
"Once the manager gave me the thumbs up, it was an easy decision to sign." (dpa)
