Experienced Tottenham defender Ben Davies has signed a new contract that runs until the end of next season. The 33‑year‑old Wales international, who arrived from Swansea in July 2014, now extends his spell at the North London club into a 13th year. Tottenham’s hierarchy view his experience as vital for Roberto de Zerbi’s first full campaign. His contract renewal was confirmed on Tuesday.

Davies’ previous deal expired at the end of the month, and he was poised to leave. A broken ankle required surgery in January, limiting him to just three Premier League appearances last term as Spurs narrowly escaped relegation. Despite the injury‑scarred season, the club rewarded his leadership, offering a one-year contract to retain his presence in the squad. The deal was sealed at training.

In total Davies has featured in 363 games for Tottenham across all competitions, scoring ten goals. His longevity places him among the club’s most‑capped recent servants, and his continued availability bolsters a defence that struggled for stability. The one‑year deal underscores the manager’s intent to blend seasoned heads with emerging talent as the campaign unfolds. Fans will expect him to mentor youngsters.
