Chairman Darragh MacAnthony said: 'This was one of the easiest contract negotiations I have ever been involved in. Michael just wants to play football. He is settled in the area, loves playing for this football club and we are delighted that he has committed his long term future with us.
'He has been immense in these last few games for us. It has been something that has been in the pipeline since the summer, but Dave Robertson, Aaron Mclean and Grant McCann wanted to get this done this week and I was happy to get everything done for them.
'We signed Michael as a goalscoring central midfielder. He had scored 12 goals for Stevenage and in the last few years he hasn't played regularly in that position, but I think you can see what he brings to that position. We are very pleased everything is completed,' MacAnthony said.
