Soccer Betting Lines

05/15/2008 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has finally signed a new five-year contract which will effectively keep him at Old Trafford for the rest of his career.

The 29-year-old England international, who will now stay at United until at least June 2013, has already made 266 first-team appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's side since his transfer from Leeds United six years ago.

The former West Ham defender told United's official website: "Manchester United is a fantastic club and I'm delighted I've signed a new contract.

"It's a great honor to be part of this trophy-winning team and to share in the success, which I'm sure, will continue for many seasons to come.

"I'd like to thank the manager, the coaching staff, the players and the fans for the tremendous support they've given me since I joined the club."

"I'm delighted Rio has signed a new contract. Rio's contribution this season has been a major factor in our outstanding defensive performance," Ferguson said.

"Rio has matured into his role at the club and has shown, when needed, what a great captain and leader he can be."
