Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy signs new four-year deal

Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has signed a new contract with the club.

The Saints have announced that the 28-year-old stopper has penned a fresh four-year deal.

"I'm massively pleased. I had one year left on my current deal and, obviously, I'm over the moon to sign a new four-year deal," McCarthy told the club's official website.

"I think the club is going in the right direction. With the way we finished the season, we can take that into this one and hopefully finish a lot higher up the table. Everyone is ready to go."

McCarthy was named as Southampton's Player of the Season in 2017-18.
