Danny Seaborne has become a fixture at the heart of City's defence

Exeter City centre-half Danny Seaborne has signed a new deal to stay at St James' Park until the end of the 2009/10 season.

Seaborne, a former trainee with the Grecians, signed his first professional deal with the club in May 2005, having made his debut three months earlier.

He formed a strong partnership at the back with Matt Taylor as he became a regular in last season's promotion win.

Seaborne, 21, was on a one-year deal, which came to an end last month.
