Gonzalo Castro has committed his future to Borussia Dortmund after putting pen to paper on a new contract until 2020, the Bundesliga side announced.

"I'm really happy about the trust the club has placed in me," he told the team's website.

"I can honestly say that it makes me proud to pull on the black and yellow jersey and play football in front of such amazing fans."
