England full-back Ryan Bertrand has signed a new five-year contract with Southampton FC.

The 26-year-old joined from Chelsea in 2014 and made 34 appearances for Saints last season, helping them qualify for the Europa League.

It means Bertrand is now committed to St Mary’s until 2021. And he joins Virgil van Dijk, Fraser Forster, James Ward-Prowse and Steven Davis in agreeing fresh deals at the club in recent months.

"I'm very pleased. It's been a fantastic move for me since the day I came to this club and I look forward to many more successful years and really pushing forward.

"I've enjoyed my football here. I've really enjoyed the club, and the fans have been fantastic with me personally as well, so I couldn't think of any better place to play football and to keep on developing.

"The club is always thinking forward and I really want to be a part of that, and I am sure we can go on to achieve even better things.”
