High five: Huddlestone has extended his stay at White Hart Lane until 2013
He made 43 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring four goals and
featuring as a substitute in the Carling Cup final win over Chelsea in February.
He also took his tally of England Under-21 caps to 26 before the end of the season.
News of Huddlestone's new deal comes soon after the club confirmed the signing of Italian youth goalkeeper Mirko Ranieri from Perugia.
The 16-year-old is expected to play in the academy team next season.
'Mirko is 6ft 2in and an excellent shot-stopper,' said Spurs sporting director Damien Comolli. 'His distribution and decision-making is improving all the time.
'He is a highly-intelligent individual and another very good young goalkeeper we have attracted to the club.'
