Southampton youngster Josh Sims commits long-term future to the Saints with new three-and-a-half year deal

Josh Sims has signed a new contract at Southampton which ties the academy graduate to St Mary's until 2020.

The 19-year-old has played eight times for Claude Puel's side this season after breaking into the first-team set-up on the south coast.

Sims, who has also represented England at Under-18 level, made an instant impact as he set up Charlie Austin to score the only goal of the game in a victory over Everton in November.
