Club Atlético de Madrid have announced that full back Juanfran has signed a new contract with the club until June 2017.

A regular starter for Diego Simeone’s side, the 28-year-old came through Real Madrid CF’s academy, arriving at Atlético from CA Osasuna in winter 2011/12. Since then, he has made 79 league appearances for Los Colchoneros, scoring twice.

At Atlético he has won the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League, the 2012 UEFA Super Cup and last season’s Copa del Rey. He won his first Spain cap in a friendly game against Serbia in May 2012 and was an unused member of their UEFA EURO 2012 squad.

Atlético meet FC Zenit in their first UEFA Champions League Group G game on Wednesday.
