Abdenasser El Khayati has signed a new contract with Burton Albion, the club have confirmed.
The striker joined the Brewers in January, signing a deal that contained terms about him being committed for a further season with the club.
However, he has now signed an official contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2017.
El Khayati was brought in by Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
El Khayati joined Burton earlier this year from Kozakken Boys, an amateur football club in the Netherlands, after scoring 12 goals in 17 apperances for them in the first half of the 2014/15 season.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink used his knowledge of his homeland to identify the striker as a target for the club, and snapped him up just a few days short of the transfer deadline, seeing off interest from other clubs in the Netherlands after the player trained with Burton for a few days.
The 26-year-old played 18 games in League Two in the second half of the season, scoring three goals as his side won promotion to League One.
Burton's assistant manager, David Oldfield, described El Khayati as a player who "became a very important part of the group last season," and expressed his "delight" with him signing a new deal. He called the attacker a player with "great individual skills" and has backed him to be "as effective [in the coming campaign] as he was last season".
An untrodden road to the Football League
El Khayati started his career with PSV Eindhoven, coming through their youth ranks but failing to make an appearance with the first team. He joined Eerste Divisie side FC Den Bosch in 2008, but played just 10 games for them in two years.
Spells with Dutch club NAC Breda and Olympiakos Nicosia in Cyprus followed, but he did not get a game for either during a disappointing three years of his career.
Fortunes picked up with Kozakken, and he would eventually secure a move to England after a clinical few months at amateur level.
