Fraser Forster signs new five-year deal
Jul 19, 2017 - 4:57 PM Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has signed a new five-year contract that will keep him at the club until 2022, effectively extending his current deal by a year.The 29-year-old England international had signed a new contract until 2021 last summer, but agreed fresh terms on Wednesday, the south coast club said in a statement.
"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," vice chairman Les Reed told the club's website.
"He has already established himself as one of the leading keepers in the Premier League and, at 29, we believe he still has his best years ahead of him, not just for us but also the national team."
Forster, who played in all of Southampton's league games last season, described his decision to extend as a "no-brainer".
"I'm delighted. 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," he added.
