Jay Rodriguez Signs New Saints Deal
The recent trend of Saints best players leaving the club once a big chequer is waved at them has been stopped with the news that Jay Rodriguez has put pen to paper.
Saints have announced that Jay Rodriguez has signed a new contract that will keep him at the club to 2019, this is great news, not only because of the fact that one of our best players has shown faith in the club and stopped the trend for our best players leave, but because it shows that our current squad do seem to have faith in what we are trying to do as a club.
Hopefully now the club can start to build for next season with confidence that unlike last the majority of this seasons squad will still be in situ.
With several clubs including Spurs, Liverpool & Man City rumoured to be after J Rod it is great news that he has shown that not only does he appreciate the club helping his recovery but he believes that we are ambitious.
