The defender, who has been linked with a host of clubs including Spurs, has signed a deal which will run until 2016.

Tomkins told the club website: "I'm really pleased that I've signed a new contract at the club.

"It's nice to end the speculation about what people have been saying in the papers and commit my future to the club and concentrate on my football.

"By signing this deal, I'm showing my commitment to the club as they've been brilliant to me this year with all the support they have given to me and the rest of the players.

"If they continue doing that then together we can return the club back to the Premier League, where we believe we belong."
