 Doherty has been with Spurs for four years |
Republic of Ireland international Gary Doherty has signed a new deal with Tottenham to extend his career at White Hart Lane. The length of the new contract has not been revealed by the club but it is only his second since joining Spurs from Luton in March 2000.
Doherty spent six months out after breaking his leg in a League Cup tie against Torquay in 2001.
Although he can play as a striker, he has now settled into a defensive role.
Manager David Pleat said: "Gary came from Luton three years ago, he did well up front, helped us win a couple of important FA Cup ties, but then he broke his leg and went backwards.
"We never adjusted his contract, the whole thing was put on ice and he was the victim of circumstances so we're pleased to give him the opportunity to sign a new contract."
