"I'm very pleased to be staying for another season," Milner told the club's official website. "I have never taken playing for this club for granted and I never will.
"An overriding feeling for me -- and a vitally important one in the process -- was the belief I can still contribute to the team. The gaffer was clear what he thought and that was a big factor in me extending my contract.
