Stuart Taylor Extends Contract With Southampton

Southampton goalkeeper Stuart Taylor has signed a new one-year deal, the club have announced. The 36-year-old arrived at St Mary's last season to provide added depth to the goalkeeping department and has agreed to extend his stay through the 2017/18 campaign.

The former Arsenal and Manchester City stopper, who is yet to feature for the Saints, will head into his 21st season as a professional hoping to make his first Premier League appearance since 2007. Following a number of elaborate transfer unveilings from some high-profile clubs, Southampton took a different approach to the summer craze by using a sarcastic video to break the news.

Taylor told Southampton's official website “I'm obviously delighted to have signed for another year. It's a great bunch of lads and a great group, and I'm looking forward to working again with a great goalkeeper coach and a great squad of goalkeepers.”
