​Forster signs long-term Southampton extension

Fraser Forster has signed a new five-year contract at Southampton.

The England goalkeeper only penned a new five-year deal 12 months ago, but the new deal will see him remain at St. Mary's till 2022.

Forster joined the Saints in 2014 and is delighted to have committed even longer.

"I'm delighted," he told the club website. "I have absolutely loved my time here at Southampton so far and when the opportunity came along to extend it I didn't think twice about it.

"I think it's a fantastic club to be at, with a really bright future, and the ambition shown at the club is one where they want to move it forward, so for me, it was a no-brainer."

Vice-chairman Les Reed said: "We are extremely pleased to have strengthened our commitment with Fraser, who has been an integral part of our team over the past three seasons."
