Southampton midfielder Lloyd Isgrove has signed a new two-year extension to his contract.
Isgrove, 22, who has progressed through the club's academy ranks, has committed his future at St Mary’s until the summer of 2017.
He has made four appearances for the first team this season, coming off the bench in the campaign opener against Liverpool at Anfield, as well as enjoying a loan spell in League One with Peterborough at the end of last season.
His only Southampton start so far came against Millwall in the Capital One Cup, before featuring as a substitute in cup games against Sheffield United and Ipswich Town.
Isgrove said: “It’s a bit of security. I’m 22 now so obviously this takes me to 24. It won’t stop me working hard and pushing in training. That’s a good age to be playing at a high level.
“It shows that they believe in my abilities. They want me on a two-year instead of doing the one-years that I’ve previously done before, which is only positive for me.
“It’s probably the biggest two years of my career so far. If I can get a run of games, I can really push on and really establish myself as a professional player.”
