Former Tottenham captain Gary Mabbutt has backed Ben Davies to earn a new deal at the club despite his contract expiring next month. The Wales international defender, who turns 33, has not featured since suffering a serious ankle injury in January. Mabbutt praised Davies' reliability and twelve-year service, calling the injury devastating for both player and club.

Davies joined Spurs in 2012 and has made over 250 appearances for the north London side. His absence through injury coincided with Tottenham's relegation battle, though they ultimately secured their Premier League status. Mabbutt highlighted Davies' consistency as a player you can always rely on, suggesting he deserves recognition for his loyalty.

The former captain believes Davies should be offered either a playing contract extension or transition role within the club. After more than a decade of service and with his experience valuable for younger players, Davies' situation reflects Tottenham's need for leadership. His future decision will impact squad depth heading into the new season.
