Tottenham Hotspur have secured the services of long-serving defender Ben Davies for another season after the Wales captain signed a new 12-month contract extension.
The agreement will see Davies remain in North London for a remarkable 13th campaign, further strengthening his status as one of the club’s most loyal servants of the modern era.
Davies endured a frustrating 2025/26 season due to injury, making only five appearances across all competitions.
However, his influence away from the pitch remained significant during a challenging campaign for Spurs.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi publicly praised the defender’s leadership and experience as Tottenham navigated a tense battle for Premier League survival, eventually securing their top-flight status.
The 33-year-old remained actively involved behind the scenes, attending key matches and assisting with preparations during the decisive stages of the season.
Since arriving from Swansea City in 2014, Davies has become a respected figure at the club, making 363 appearances in all competitions.
His professionalism, versatility, and commitment have made him a valuable presence across multiple managerial eras at Tottenham.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Davies reflected on his journey and expressed his desire to continue contributing both on and off the pitch.
“Tottenham Hotspur really feels like home. It’s been a huge part of my football journey and I’m grateful for what the club has given me so far in my career,” Davies told the official club website.
“It’s been difficult over the past few months, not being able to help the team on the pitch in some tough moments due to injury.
“So, I tried to help the boys off it as much as I could, being a voice in the dressing room and around the group, contributing in any way I could.
“My heart’s on my sleeve for this club and I’ll give everything for it.”
With Tottenham looking to build on their survival and move forward under De Zerbi, Davies’ experience and leadership could prove invaluable in the dressing room.
While competition for places remains fierce, the Welsh international’s extension ensures Spurs retain a player who understands the club’s culture and expectations better than most.
For Tottenham supporters, Davies’ commitment represents continuity, stability, and another chapter in a relationship that has now spanned well over a decade.
