Ryan Bertrand has committed his future to Southampton by signing a new five-year contract.

The left-back has established himself as a key player at St Mary's since signing from Chelsea in 2014, and the England international has said that he hopes to help the club continue their progression on the pitch over the coming years.

The 26-year-old told the club's official website: "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."

Bertrand has made 73 appearances during two seasons with the Saints.
