Collison scored his first senior goal against Everton in November

West Ham midfielder Jack Collison has signed a new contract that will keep him at Upton Park until 2013.

The 20-year-old Wales international has made five Premier League appearances this season, and played a key role in last weekend's 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

"The new manager [Gianfranco Zola] has come in and given me the confidence to show what I can do," Collison told the club's website.

"Now I am aiming to make the most of all my opportunities on the pitch."
