Foden still had a year to run on his contract at Franklin's Gardens but he will now remain at the Heineken Cup finalists until at least 2014.
The 25-year-old has become a key figure for club and country since making the switch to the Saints from Sale in 2008, with Foden scoring 20 tries in 81 appearances.
And having won the European Challenge Cup and LV= Cup while at Northampton and helped established them as one of England's top sides, Foden is targeting more success.
"I know this was where I want to be," he said. "I've seen the club climb and achieve bigger things with every season. I was pretty quick in putting pen to paper and signing for two more years.
"We've strengthened the squad during the summer. We achieved some great things last year and reached a major final, although we came up just short. But I'm excited to be here and I'm looking forward to a long future here.
"We're a young squad and have got better and better each year, which shows where the team is climbing to under the direction of Jim, Dorian and Paul. There are great things in the future of the club and hopefully I can be a part of that."
