Italian international goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon extended his contract with Juventus by two years through to 2015, the Italian giants confirmed on Wednesday.

"Buffon has extended his deal with the club for two further years through to June 2015. Juve will always be home for him," said the club chairman Andrea Agnelli in a news conference.

The 34-year-old Buffon joined Juve from Parma in 2001 and has spent 12 seasons in the Turin-based side. Even when Juventus were relegated to the second division following the match-fixing scandal, Buffon chose to prove his loyalty by sticking with the team and pacing Juve back to Serie A.

Juventus are topping the league table with a 5-point advantage after 21 rounds of this season.
