Vlaar went back to AZ in October after recovering from knee surgery following a decision not to extend his contract with Aston Villa at the end of last season.

He has been a regular for the club who finished fourth in the Dutch league on Sunday to book a place in the Europa League.

"I'm really pleased about this. I've already said how happy I am, enjoying my football and achieving good results. There are enough challenges, both individually and as a team," the 31-year-old told the club website (az.nl).
