De Ceglie signs Juve contract extension

Young midfielder Paolo De Ceglie has signed a contract extension at Juventus until 2013, the club said on Thursday.

While not a first team regular, the 22-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Siena, has made seven starts and eight substitute appearances this season and provided the cross for one of Amauri's goals against AC Milan last weekend.

“This extension is an important step in my career and the result of many years of sacrifice,” said De Ceglie.
