Southampton midfielder Will Smallbone has signed a new three-year contract.
The 23-year-old, who joined the club aged eight, made18 league appearances either side of an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2021.
The Republic of Ireland international spent last season on loan at Championship side Stoke City where he made 46 appearances.
"Coming back and seeing the change and everything that's happened has been a breath of fresh air," he said.
Smallbone has turned out twice this season under new Southampton boss Russell Martin, who joined in the summer from Championship side Swansea. His new deal runs until 2026.
