07/03/2009 - Portsmouth, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Defender Linvoy Primus will extend his nine-year association with Portsmouth after agreeing to a new 12-month contract.
The 35-year-old defender has been at Fratton Park since 2000 and has been handed a new deal despite only making a handful of appearances last season.
A series of knee problems restricted him to just one Premier League appearance as a substitute in the penultimate weekend of the last campaign.
However, his new deal will combine playing with an ambassadorial and advisory role.
"I'm going to be working with the younger players on and off the pitch," he told the club's official website.
"I'm not going to be coaching them, I'm going to be more of an advisor, more of a mentor for them."
