Portsmouth have received a boost ahead of the final day of the season with goalkeeper David James agreeing a new contract at the club. James has agreed a new two-year deal, with the option of a third season on top, which could see the player remain at Fratton Park until 2010.
James confirmed to Pompey's official website: "The last year has been great and I am delighted to have signed the extension to my contract. I have enjoyed my football here and with the plans for the new stadium the future for Pompey is looking very good on and off the field. To be part of that future is exciting and I'm greatly looking forward to things developing."

The 36-year-old, a £2million signing from Manchester City last summer, has been in superb form this season and recently eclipsed David Seaman's record for Premiership clean sheets.
His form has been instrumental in Pompey's fine campaign which looks set to secure the club their highest league finish in more than 50 years.

Harry Redknapp's team are also still in contention for a Uefa Cup place, with Arsenal the visitors to Fratton Park on Sunday
