Southampton midfielder Steven Davis wants to win some silverware after extending his contract at St Mary's.

The 29-year-old, who was a starter in both of Northern Ireland's recent victories over the Faroe Islands and Greece, has signed a deal extension to tie him to the club until 2018.

Davis has been delighted with the club's progression since his arrival from Rangers in July 2012 and after impressing in his six Premier League starts this season he has been rewarded with a new contract.

Davis told the club's official website: "I’m delighted to have signed a new contract. I’ve enjoyed my football since I came here and the club is continually progressing.

"I’m excited to see where we can go together over the next few years. The club is run the right way and they try to do everything to their best ability.

"Nobody wants to stand still, we want to get better, that goes for the team and myself. I’d like to win trophies here and continually try to improve our league position. I feel we can do that at this club.

"It was a difficult summer, there’s no getting away from that but the board stayed strong and the club made some really good signings in the manager and players that came in.

"It’s unbelievable how everyone has settled. We’ve had a lot of changes but it feels like we’ve been playing together for a lot longer than we have. We’ve had an exciting start and we’re determined to go on and keep progressing."
