Southampton boss Mark Hughes is happy with his new contract.

Hughes was announced as Saints boss in late May and revealed that it was a deal that 'made sense'.

“I'm delighted. With the way the season went in the end there was a great feeling and clearly we needed to get the job done. It was a short-term deal when I came in and I understood that totally," he said.

“I just think what happened and how we went about our business it was clear there was a lot of relief at the club and a realisation that we'd come together, myself and my staff that I brought in, the players with the fans and everybody.

“It made sense that we tried to extend if we could."
