Israel international central defender Bitton, 28, joined the club from Ashdod in August 2013. He has made 21 appearances for the SPL champions this season and helped them reach the knockout stages of the Europa League.

“I would never have thought I would stay here for 10 years,” said Bitton.

“This is a big achievement for myself, my family and I’m just so happy. The new deal was a mutual agreement.

Neil Lennon and I have a good relationship. We speak a lot and as long as I’m here I’ll give everything for him. He has trusted me through my entire career and I just want to give back to him.”
