"It's brilliant and I'm delighted to extend my stay here at Burnley," Mee said. "After such a great season last year, and getting married in the summer, things just keep getting better and hopefully it will improve even more. I feel comfortable and at home here and we've been chatting for a while. Obviously it's been a busy summer, so it was something we put on a back burner, but it was always going to get done."
A product of Manchester City's youth academy, Mee initially arrived at Burnley on a loan spell but joined the club permanently in 2012.
