France midfielder Jeremy Toulalan has signed a new contract with seven-time French champion Lyon until 2015.
Toulalan joined Lyon from Nantes in 2006 and won two French titles with the club.
Toulalan struggled this season after failing to recover quickly from France's World Cup debacle. He was banned for one match by the French football federation for his role in the boycott of a training session in South Africa.
Lyon coach Claude Puel said Toulalan ''came back to a very good level, which is obviously good for the team.''

Toulalan, who said he will end his career in Lyon, has played 36 times for France.
