Bayern Munich and Rafinha agreed on a contract extension until 2017, the Bavarians announced via their official homepage on Thursday.

Brazilian international Marcio Rafael Ferreira de Souza, also known as Rafinha, stays with the German record champions until 2017, as the right back put pen to paper on his new three-year deal.

"It's very important for me, my career and family that I have the chance to continue working at one of the best clubs in the world. I'm very proud," Rafinha told Bayern's official homepage.

The 28-year-old defender played from 2005 until 2010 for Schalke before he joined Italian side Genoa until 2011. After his short spell in Italy he moved to Bayern Munich to score two goals in 52 appearances.

Rafinha was part of the starting team at their recent 3-0 win over Guangzhou Evergrande FC in the FIFA World Club Cup.

Bayern Munich sit atop the standings in the Bundesliga with a seven point lead to runner up Leverkusen.
