The deal will keep the 20 year old at Prenton Park until 2007. However, it was only possible for Zola to extend his contract after a meeting in Sheffield lead to an agreement to extend his work permit for two more years.
The striker will most probably be a key feature in Rovers' push for promotion next season, along with Iain Hume, Eugene Dadi and Chris Dagnall. Zola will most certainlly be looking to secure a regular starting place in the Tranmere side after he was suspended from playing by the government because of work permit problems.
