Glen Moss has committed himself to the Wellington Phoenix for two more years.

The 31-year-old goalie, who joined the Phoenix when the club was formed and returned after spells with Melbourne Victory and the now defunct Gold Coast United, had other options but had no hesitation in signing on again.

"There was interest from outside the A-League I could have pursued but at the end of the day when I was weighing up the options there was only one way it was going to go," the All White said. "I was here at the start and the future has never been as clear as it is now.

"I believe this club is going to go places in the future because it is getting stronger all the time and I want to be part of it."

He said it was good to have the hard work he had put in since returning to the club rewarded.

"I'm pretty passionate about the Phoenix and feel a responsibility as a leader in the team to lead by example so I put my heart and soul into training every day.

"For the club to offer me another two years is rewarding."

Moss has started all 10 games this season, conceding 13 goals with one clean sheet.
