Artur Boruc has signed a new two year contract with Saints.

The Polish international's current one season deal was due to expire in the summer, but he is now committed to the club until 2015.

Boruc was drafted in by former boss Nigel Adkins in September but had a ropey start to life at the club, which included an investigation into whether he threw a water bottle at Saints fans at St Mary's.

He was cleared to continue his Saints career and has now established himself as a first team regular.

The 33-year-old has made 17 starts for the club this season, pushing Kelvin Davis and Paolo Gazzaniga down the pecking order.

"I am very happy and to be honest I am quite proud that I am part of the great ambitions of this club," Boruc said.

"I am looking forward to the next couple of months and couple of years hopefully. I am really pleased I am here.

"I enjoy playing in the Premier League and as a club I believe we can achieve a lot, to be honest. I am looking forward to it."

Saints look all but certain to be plying their trade in the Premier League again next season and have spoken of their big ambitions for the future - something Boruc is confident they can achieve.

"I don't think [Champions League is too big an ask]," the former Celtic goalkeeper said.

"We're playing Swansea this weekend and they show playing totally different football that you can achieve a lot.

"I think we are heading to this with our new manager. We are showing a lot of good work and I think the results we are getting are very good as well so, yeah, why not?

"You need to ambitious in your life to achieve your ambitions.

"You never know what is going to happen - it is a funny story with football.

"Everybody has great ambitions and you need to work hard to be in that position. I do believe that we can achieve it."

Boruc has started every match since Mauricio Pochettino replaced Nigel Adkins as Saints manager in January, becoming an integral part of the team.

"I am very happy and he deserves it," the Argentinian said.

"In the three months he has been here, he has been crucial for us.

"It is especially important for a goalkeeper to face the last games of the season with the confidence of the club, knowing he will be here for two more years. It suits his competitiveness."
