Coles started his career at rivals Bristol City

Bristol Rovers defender Danny Coles has ended speculation about his future by signing a two-year contract extension.

Despite Rovers receiving and rejecting a number of bids from Plymouth, Coles, 26, now looks set to stay at the Memorial Stadium until 2012.

"This has been done in response to the numerous bids for his services," director of football Lennie Lawrence told the club website.

After a loan spell, Coles signed for the Pirates from Hull in January 2007.
