RSC Anderlecht have received a boost ahead of the UEFA Champions League with left-back Olivier Deschacht committing his future to the club.
Long-term stay
The 25-year-old's existing deal had been due to expire at the end of the 2006/07 campaign but he has put pen to paper on a contract that will keep him at the Constant Vanden Stock stadium until summer 2009. Deschacht has come through the ranks at Anderlecht and has been a first-team regular since the 2001/02 season. Capped 14 times by Belgium, he has played 130 league games for the Brussels club. Anderlecht begin their UEFA Champions League group-stage programme at home to LOSC Lille Métropole next Wednesday.
