Athletic Bilbao midfielder Pablo Orbaiz has expressed his delight at signing a new contract with the club, and insists he wants to end his career with los Leones.
"For me it was important to stay here, because I have spent 10 years in Bilbao and I would like to finish here," Orbaiz enthused to Marca, revealing that it only took "twenty minutes" to conclude the deal.
"The club made me an offer that was good for me and we came to an agreement. There weren't any negotiations, no hard bargaining.
"It was very important that the club treated me like this. I want to be here, my family are happy and the money wasn't important.
"Two years [extension] gives me peace of mind to play, and I understand that the club can't offer me more because I'm of an age where there are factors to consider.
"It's fine that they want to go little by little. My intention is to show that I can be here for many years, but I have to go slowly."
Orbaiz signed for Athletic in 2000 from Osasuna and has made 269 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 10 goals. The 30-year-old has also appeared four times for Spain.
