Exeter City's Finland midfielder Ilmari Niskanen has extended his contract at the League One club.

The 26-year-old has signed a new deal to keep him at St James Park until the summer of 2026.

Niskanen played 35 times for Exeter last season after joining from Scottish side Dundee United on a two-year deal.

He was part of the Finland squad that was knocked out by Wales in the European Championships play-offs.

" He has been excellent since he came to the club, as a person and a player," Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell told the club website.

"His character and work ethic are incredible and we want to build the team around people like Ilmari."
