England Under-21 internationals Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have signed contract extensions with Tottenham Hotspur.

The club have confirmed Rose has extended his deal until 2015 while Walker has committed himself until 2016.

Rose, 21, burst onto the scene with a spectacular strike in Spurs' north London derby victory over Arsenal in April 2010, and went on to play 17 times on loan at Bristol City last season before featuring at left-back for Harry Redknapp's team in the final four fixtures of the season.

Walker, also 21, impressed during loan spells with Championship winners Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa last term, making a total of 38 appearances.

The players both represented England during this summers European Under-21 Championships in Denmark with Walker being named in the Team of the Tournament.

Walker's fine form for Villa saw him receive a call-up to the full England squad in February and March 2011 but he has yet to win his first senior cap.

Manager Harry Redknapp sees bright futures for both youngsters as he looks to rebuild after failing to secure a top-four finish in 2011.

The Spurs players have returned for pre-season training, seeking to make up for the disappointment of missing out on Champions League football in the forthcoming campaign.

Midfielder Rafael van der Vaart said: "Drop too many points and you don't deserve to be in the Champions League. So next season we are going to focus on the Europa League.

"As a player you want to improve every year but the important thing is to help the team. If we stay together we have a good squad."
