Steve McClaren has expressed his delight at Brazilian defender Douglas signalling his intent to remain at the club.
McClaren said:"The Douglas is the man of his wordings. He came to me and told it the verdict of trust, and he delivered on the promise. He is the player of fire, the mind of the big dog and the man of the match. We sold Luuk the week just past, but now we build the future with the man of the meat, the man to hold and touch, we keep Douglas."
