Robert Pires and Javi Venta have signed new deals at Villarreal.
The duo have inked new one-year contracts to keep them at Villarreal until 2010.
Pires joined Villarreal in the summer of 2006 from Arsenal and, despite suffering a serious knee injury in his first season, he has established himself as a key player in the side.
Venta has been at Villarreal since 1999 and, after a few loan spells away from the club, he is the established right-back in Manuel Pellegrini's side.
The news is a massive boost for Villarreal ahead of next week's UEFA Champions League quarter-final with Arsenal.
