England international goalkeeper Fraser Forster has signed a new deal at Southampton to keep him in place until 2022.
The 29-year-old has been at St Mary's Stadium since 2014, making 103 appearances for the Saints since joining from Celtic for a fee of around £10m.
Forster only agreed fresh terms last summer, but he has extended his contract by a further year following the recent arrival of new boss Mauricio Pellegrino.
Forster, who also boasts stints with Newcastle United, Stockport County, Bristol Rovers and Norwich City on his CV, says that committing for the long term was an easy decision to make.
"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 told the club's official website.
"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 added: "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.
"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.
"This is the ideal place for him to continue his progress, under the guidance of our Head of Goalkeeping, Dave Watson, and we are delighted that Fraser continues to see his long-term future at Southampton."
On the playing front, Southampton have so far brought in just one senior player during the transfer window, signing Jan Bednarek from Lech Poznan for an undisclosed fee.
