Michael Gault has agreed to stay at Windsor Park for another three years

Midfielder Michael Gault has ended speculation about a move from Linfield by signing a new three-year full-time contract with the Windsor Park club.

There had been reports that the 26-year-old could be on his way to League of Ireland champions Bohemians.

Gault, from Lisburn, was also a target for newly-promoted Portadown.

"Michael took a while to deliberate but has said he wants to be here and nowhere else," manager David Jeffrey told the Linfield website.

"I made it consistently clear that I did not want Michael to leave Windsor Park.

"He had a difficult year with injuries but at the tail end of the season I think we saw the real quality of Michael Gault.

"I am delighted he has committed himself to Linfield by signing this new three-year deal."

Gault made his international debut in March 2008 in a friendly against Georgia.
