Alex McCarthy has signed a new contract befitting his status as Southampton's first choice goalkeeper, keeping him at the Saints for another four years.
Fraser Forster's poor form in the first half of the 2017/18 season saw McCarthy replace him as Southampton's starting goalkeeper and he repaid that faith with some excellent performances in the second half of the season.
Southampton spent the whole season fighting against relegation and didn't guarantee their safety until the final day, but upon securing their Premier League status they sought to extend the contract of one of their top performers.
“I’m massively pleased," McCarthy told Southampton's official website.
