Rafael Marquez has signed a contract extension with Barcelona, which ties him to the club until 2012.

The Mexico defender joined Barcelona from Monaco in 2003.

Details of the extension were not made public by Barcelona. Marquez, who has been plagued recently by injuries, said he will likely finish his career with the Catalan club.

"I'm 30 years old," Marquez said Monday. "I think I have two or three more years. And with the attitude I have, I think I can keep playing at the top level."
