Roma defender Marco Cassetti has agreed a one-year contract extension with the Serie A club. The 33-year-old full-back made 34 appearances in all competitions last season as Claudio Ranieri's side finished runners-up to Inter Milan in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

Cassetti's new deal expires in June 2011. He said: "I'm happy and I thank the club for the opportunity to continue my relationship with Rome."

"I'm sure we can continue the great results again next season and I hope to repay the confidence the club has shown towards me."
