Millwall defender Carlos Edwards has signed a contract extension to the end of the season.

The 37-year-old, who joined the Lions last May after spending five years at Ipswich Town, has forced his way back into Neil Harris’s side following a lengthy period out injured.

Since his return Millwall have only lost two of their 11 games and Edwards has contributed to the club’s last two clean sheets.

He said: “They say hard work pays off and the contract extension was something the club and I were working towards for some time.

“The club has kept its promise and now I'm looking to help Millwall back to the Championship.

“I had no doubt that once I got my head down I would be back playing, and now I'm enjoying every moment.

“I'm looking for us as a group and as a club is to push on and try to win promotion.”
