Former US international Michael Parkhurst has extended his contract with Danish Super League club FC Nordsjælland.
Parkhurst, 27, made 115 MLS appearances for New England Revolution before heading to Denmark in 2008.
The improved deal with Nordsjælland will see him remain at Farum Park until the end of 2012.
“He’s signed a one-year extension,” Parkhurst’s agent Lyle Yorks said.
“He likes the club, and they are doing well,” Yorks said.
“They are competing to be in the Champions League. He wanted to stay. (Signing with a winter expiration) does keep MLS as an option for him.”
Parkhurst, a former MLS Rookie of the Year, has impressed at right-back this season, and is the only player for second-placed Nordsjælland to play every minute.
