Camara's new deal ends speculation over his future at Wigan
|
Henri Camara has signed an improved three-year deal to keep him at Wigan until 2009.
The striker's previous deal was due to expire in 2008, but he exercised a clause allowing him to renegotiate if Wigan survived in the Premiership.
Camara, 29, had been linked with a move away from the JJB stadium, with Newcastle and Portsmouth said to be interested in him.
The Senegal striker said: "In my mind I never wanted to leave."
Camara joined Wigan from Wolves in August 2005 for £3m, a club record fee until the Latics signed Emile Heskey this summer from Birmingham for £5m.
The Senegal striker played his part in Wigan's remarkable first season in the Premiership, scoring 12 goals in 30 league appearances as they finished 10th.
