Southampton forward Jay Rodriguez has committed to a new four-year contract at St Mary's. England international Rodriguez, 25, had been linked with a host of top clubs before suffering a knee injury in April last year. The forward, who recently returned to training, has yet to return to first-team action but has now committed his future to Saints. "I'm delighted," Rodriguez told Southampton's official YouTube channel. "It's a great club and we've done amazingly this year. "It's been a tough year for myself being out, but I'm really delighted to sign the contract. It's now about looking forward to the future. "The medical staff have all worked tirelessly with me, so this is great news. I just want to carry on improving now and to try to get some game time." First-team manager Ronald Koeman added: "This is very good news for the club because there was some speculation about Jay and interest from other big clubs, so it is a compliment to the club that we have an agreement. "It has been a difficult time for Jay who has been doing everything to come back in a good shape. "It's a good start to the summer business for us because it shows that everyone here is convinced by what we want to achieve."
