Veteran defender Herman Hreidarsson has commmited himself to Fratton Park for 1 more year.

The news of the left back’s decision to stay on the south coast, has ended speculation of the 34 year-old moving for Middlesbrough switch.

The Icelandic International, who joined Portsmouth after a spell at Charlton Athletic, has been a key member in Pompey’s survival battle from relegation last year.

The new deal also includes the option of a further year should Hreidarsson play a certain number of games next season.

Executive chairman Peter Storrie told the club’s website: “Hermann’s been looking at his options and he’s decided he wants to stay.”

“He’s very strong and fit and had a great second half of last season.”

“Hermann’s a real character and a great influence in the dressing room, so we’re pleased to have him back.”
