    Kelvin will be 40 in 2016, and it means he will receive a testimonial for 10 years of service.

    Here till 2016. Nice to see the legend being repayed but a bit odd as doubt he will have many opotunities.

    Didn't see this coming at all. He's definitely finishing his career here now.

    Good move though I guess, his experience will be invaluable and he's probably a great role model.

    Interesting move by both him and us. Pretty happy with that though. A good, professional influence throughout the squad.

    Kelvin Davis: "When I first came to this club, to be here for this period of time is something that I would have dreamed about."

    Mauricio Pochettino: "Every successful team needs to have characters like Kelvin, so I’m delighted that he has committed to the Club."

    Careful you don't drop the pen! I am pleased about this, not sure he is going to get much first team action, but I am happy to have him on board.

    He probably intends to be a GK coach here in the future, and is happy to see out his playing days as our 2nd choice.

    Don't believe this. Cortese doesn't give a toss about loyalty, right?

    Kelvin is a fantastic pro and has been a great servant to Saints and he must be very well liked and respected in the changing room.

    you can tell he's a right character from videos on saintsplayer and from what the other players say about him. same for jaidi! we kept him on as a scout didnt we.

    its important to keep kelvin as during this transition period where we be looking to fill the squad with premier league level players, having a few people who have been in the squad for a while will maintain a level of stability that we will need. keeping the likes of lallana, schneiderlin, david and lambert is key. lallana and schneiderlin might be young bit i expect they have gt well over 300 apps for saints already, theyre experienced lads!

    Glad they're wearing their Eterna watches.

    Great news, fantastic servant to Southampton FC, and who knows? Maybe a future "boot room" manager in the asking?

    We're clearly only giving out all these contract extensions willy nilly so that they can advertise the watches :wink:

    Good to repay such loyalty, but obviously not done out of charity. Must be seen as a role model and future coach. Pleased for him.

    Absolutely right, these guys embody the character of the club really and although he obviously isn't going to get many games, I'm pleased Kelvin is sticking around.
