Alex McCarthy is enjoying his time at Southampton.

August marked five years since McCarthy arrived at St Mary's from Crystal Palace.

Now 31, McCarthy, who kept a clean sheet in Saturday's win over Watford, has played 122 games for Saints since his arrival half a decade ago.

"To be honest I didn't realise I'd been there five years until someone said to me the other day," McCarthy told the Daily Echo.

"It's been a very good move for me. I'm very settled there.

"There's a great feeling around the place, great staff, great players.

"It's a nice place to go and work every day. I've played a lot of games there now, I want to play a lot more games and keep developing my game as much as possible."
