Jason Pearce has signed a contract extension to keep him at Charlton until at least June 2021.
There Club announcement quashes rumours of a return to former club Portsmouth and any interest from Sunderland.
Club captain Pearce has made 81 appearances for the Addicks since his arrival from Wigan Athletic in 2016.
Pearce endured a large spell on the sidelines last season as Lee Bowyer’s side claimed promotion from League One and he aims to repay the clubs faith in him.
“I’m proud that the club have allowed me to extend my contract and hopefully I can repay that with some good performances on the pitch,” he told the Club website.
“The club obviously had a bit of interest for me in the summer but it didn’t change anything,
“I wanted to stay here.
“I love the club and it has been a good year and I feel like Charlton are on the up.”
Charlton boss Lee Bowyer said: “Pearcey is our captain, he’s our leader on and off the pitch. I always say you need experience in a team and his experience is so valuable. He’s also a very, very good centre-half so I’m delighted he’s signed a new contract with us.”
