Reed pens new Southampton deal

Harrison Reed has signed a contract extension with Southampton.

The highly-rated 19-year old midfielder has penned a four-year deal with the Saints, extending his stay at St Mary's until the summer of 2018.

The England U19 international, who played eight times at senior level under Mauricio Pochettino last season, was thrilled to commit to the south coast club and is looking forward to playing under new boss Ronald Koeman this season and beyond.

"I'm over the moon to sign for this club for the next four years," Reed told Southampton's official website.

"I want to be at this football club because it's only going forward and is going to keep pushing on, so I'm already looking forward to the future.

"I've really enjoyed the three weeks that I've been with the new manager and his coaching staff, so I'm looking to continue working on my game now.

"The quality of the training that the manager has put on and the ambition that he's showing played a big part in my decision.

"The manager wants us to perform just as well and even better than last year, so I can't wait to play a part in that."
