The centre back has ended all speculations linking him to join Chelsea with the news on signing new deal at the Amex Stadium.
Head coach Graham Potter said, “We’re absolutely delighted that Lewis has made this long-term commitment to the club. It’s fantastic news for everyone: the club, the supporters, the team and myself.
“Since I came to the club he’s been a joy to work with and he’s a top player. We are very lucky to have him.
“I think his role as captain is one he’s grown into and one he will do better and better for the next few years.
“He leads by example on the pitch and he’s a good lad off it – a delight to work with.
“We’re all determined to push on next season and establish the club in the Premier League and I’m really pleased that Lewis will be with us on that journey.”
Dunk was part of the club’s youth system before making his first-team debut in 2010. He has gone on to make over 300 appearances for the club, including 110 in the Premier League, and won his first England cap in November 2018.
The 28-year-old defender is delighted to commit himself long-term to the club.
“I’m delighted to have signed a new contract,” Lewis told the club’s website. “The aim now is to build on a record Premier League season and help the club continue its recent progress over the next five years.”
