Brazilian defender Marcos Ceara has signed a new one-year contract with Paris St Germain, extending his stay with the capital club until the end of the 2013 season.

The club confirmed the news in a short statement on their website this evening.

The 31-year-old Ceara, who has been standing in as captain in the absence of the injured Mamadou Sakho, has made over 100 league appearances for PSG since joining from Internacional in 2007.
