RALPH Hasenhuttl has reiterated there is “nothing that we could announce” on the future of Fraser Forster, as his contract runs down into its final months.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper has re-emerged as the Saints number one since Alex McCarthy’s injury back in December, but as it stands is still set to leave the club at the end of June.

Forster has made 19 appearances in all competitions this campaign, including 14 in the Premier League – and is approaching nearly eight years since arriving at St Mary’s.

The Hexham-born former Newcastle United product even resurrected an unlikely England career with a shock call-up as emergency cover by manager Gareth Southgate.

However, there is still nothing more the club can reveal on his future, “nothing that we should announce or could announce,” Hasenhuttl insisted, anyway.

“You can be sure that as soon as we have something to announce we will tell you first,” he added.

“He grabbed his chance with all you could do and if you want to pick last weekend, the one player who was nearly on his best performance level was Fraser.

“It’s not so easy after this long break that he never played that he has such an intense time now but I think he handled it quite well and definitely he is a player who did a very good job this season.”
