"It's really nice to finish eighth, I'm happy with that," said Foster, who made 31 Premier League appearances this season.
"The gaffer told us after the game that it is the club's best season since the 1980-81 season.

The former Ipswich Town forward has made just 12 appearances this season as the club finished 17th in the Premier League.

"We shouldn't be anywhere near that position so next season we

Hodgson keen to hand Jones defensive role England boss Roy Hodgson says he is eager to test Manchester United utility man Phil Jones at centre-back in the near future.
Jones made 17 appearances to help his side claim the 2012-13 Premier League title, but featured in a number of positions - including right-back and central midfield.
And Hodgson is now keen to see how the 21-year-old copes at centre-half at international level, having failed to oust Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic from the heart of United's defence.
"Phil is one of the players who falls into the category of those who maybe haven't been playing regularly for their club team," he said.

Rodriguez: I think I will leave Porto Porto winger James Rodriguez has confirmed that he expects to leave the club in the close-season, amid rumours he could move to Monaco.

Atletico Madrid star Radamel Falcao is rumoured to also be close to moving to the principality for a 60 million euro fee and Rodriguez has lent weight to the reports by admitting he is likely to depart the Estadio do Dragao after helping Porto to this season's Primeira Liga title.
He told O Jogo: "Honestly? I think I will leave. I am not sure if what they say is true, or if I leave now or later. But I think I will leave.

Werder Bremen complete Petersen signing Werder Bremen have announced the permanent signing of Nils Petersen from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract.
The striker has spent the last year on loan at Werder, scoring 11 goals in his 35 appearances for the club as they survived relegation with one game of the Bundesliga season remaining.
His move to Werder proved a good one, as he ended the season as the club's joint top goalscorer with Aaron Hunt and impressed the hierarchy enough to want to sign him on a permanent basis.
"We're delighted that Nils will be continuing to go for goal wearing the Werder crest over the coming years," sporting director Thomas Eichin told the club's official website. "He's shown this season that he fits in perfectly here.
"We know he's got tremendous potential and now, with
