Burnley defender Michael Duff has signed a new one-year deal, keeping him at Turf Moor until 2016.
Duff, 37, was rewarded for his consistency last season in the Premier League as Burnley were relegated in their return season to the top flight.
Duff is currently Burnley's longest serving player and is joint 15th in the Clarets all-time appearance-makers, with 358 appearances so far in his career with the Lancashire side.
In a statement on the Burnley website the club said Duff was a "fantastic servant" and they also confirmed a testimonial match for the Belfast-born centre-back on August 1st against Bradford City of League One.
A loyal servant to Cheltenham and Burnley
The experienced defender joined Burnley in 2004 from Cheltenham Town for a fee of only £30,000. At Cheltenham, he was an equally loyal servant, making 300 appearances between 1996 and 2004 for the Robins.
The 37-year old also had a successful international career, picking up his first cap for Northern Ireland in 2002 with the defender eventually going on to appear 24 times for his country before retiring from international football in 2012.
Duff appeared 21 times in the Premier League last season alongside ever-present captain, Jason Shackell.

Reports in Belgium are suggesting that former Middlesbrough loanee Jelle Vossen is close to a £3million switch to Burnley from Belgian side Genk. Vossen is also a target for Celtic, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Sean Dyche is understood to be keen on finalising a new deal for Dave Jones, 30. Jones was a stand-out performer in the centre of midfield last season.
Burnley have also been linked with ex-Manchester City midfielder Emyr Huws and Nottingham Forest winger Jamie Paterson.
With Matt Lowton already through the door, Dyche is searching for more additions and suggested more deals were imminent, saying, "there are a couple of things pending" suggesting deals could be done before the side depart for a pre-season tour of France.
