Westwood had been linked with other Super League sides

Warrington Wolves second row forward Ben Westwood has signed a two-year extension to his contract, keeping him at the club until 2011.

The England man, 27, was Wolves' player of the year last term after scoring 12 tries and five goals in 25 appearances.

He said: "I'm pleased everything is done and dusted and I've committed my future to the Wolves, I'm settled here.

"Obviously I had another year to run on my contract, but I wanted to get a new deal sorted. I'm going nowhere."

606: DEBATE How important is this news for the club's future?

Westwood was a centre when he joined Wolves from Wakefield for �60,000 six years ago, but has impressed since switching position and has forced himself into the international set-up.

Warrington coach James Lowes said: "It's good news for the club. Ben's an important part of our pack. His form, certainly while I've been here, has warranted him getting extra two years with us."
