Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that left-back Matt Targett has signed a new five-year contract.
The Academy graduate, who has been with Saints since the age of eight, has committed his future to the club until 2022.
Targett missed the majority of last term due to a hamstring injury, but following his surgery in December the 21-year-old has returned in impressive pre-season form.
"It’s a great way to kick-off the season," started Targett.
"I am really happy to sign. I’ve been at the club since I was eight so to extend my time here is only a good thing.
"Physically I feel good. I think I feel the best I’ve ever felt. I think the injury has only helped me improve physically and mentally.
"I have come back from it all and got my fitness back – I am feeling fitter and stronger so it’s all positive at the moment."
