โ€œIโ€™m delighted,โ€ he said speaking to the clubโ€™s TV channel.

โ€œIโ€™ve loved every minute that Iโ€™ve been here. Itโ€™s a really impressive club. Itโ€™s moving in the right direction and Iโ€™m happy that Iโ€™m going to be part of it.

โ€œThereโ€™s been a lot of change for the better. Who knows where weโ€™ll end up?โ€

The midfielder began his career with Premier League side Everton, before moving to Torquay United in 2010.

He enjoyed two and a half years at Plainmoor before being snapped up by Bournemouth in July 2012.

At Bournemouth Oโ€™Kane helped the Cherries win promotion from League One, before going on to help the club reach the Premier League in 2015.

The 27 year-old joined Leeds from Dean Court last summer and has made 27 appearances for the Whites in all competitions.

He becomes the latest United man to sign a new contract this week, following the announcements of defensive due Gaetano Berardi and Liam Cooper.

Oโ€™Kane has made seven appearances for Ireland, appearing twice in 2017.
