Former Nigeria U20 international Marvin Ekpiteta has committed his future to Championship side Blackpool by signing a new contract, informs the official website of the Seasiders.
The central defender has put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at Bloomfield Road until June 2024 if the two parties honour the agreement.
Ekpiteta has been one of Blackpool's standout players this season, scoring three goals in 30 appearances in the Championship.
The former Flying Eagles star joined Blackpool from Leyton Orient in July 2020 and helped them secure promotion to the second-tier via the playoffs in his first season with the club.
Commenting on his new deal, the Nigerian said : "I’m delighted to sign a new deal at Blackpool and I’m excited to see what the next few years holds.
"I’ve been here for nearly two seasons now and I’m enjoying it up here and so are my family. I’m enjoying playing my football and it’s nice to sign for a bit longer.
"I’ve developed loads under the gaffer and improved my game on-and-off the pitch. I just want to keep getting better and better."
