Ben Davies extends his contract with Tottenham Hotspur for a thirteenth season

Ben Davies, an experienced Welsh defender, has decided to extend his contract with Tottenham Hotspur, which means that he will start his thirteenth season in the colors of the London club. The decision to extend his contract was not an obvious one, given the numerous injuries that limited his appearances to just 250 minutes last season. Davies joined Tottenham in the summer of 2014, leaving Swansea City where he started his playing career. Since then, he has become an integral part of the team, playing a total of 363 matches. His most significant achievement with the club was winning the Europa League in the 2024/25 season, when he played a key role as a central defender in 28 matches.  Last season, however, was full of challenges for Davies. Struggling with muscle problems and an ankle injury, he underwent surgery, which significantly limited his playing time. Despite this, Davies played an important role in the dressing room, supporting the team as an experienced player and leader off the pitch. "I tried to be a voice in the dressing room and within the player group to be able to contribute," Davies said on the club's website. Tottenham finished last season just two points above the relegation zone, which resulted in changes in the coach's position. The club was led by three managers: Thomas Frank, Igor Tudor as interim coach and Roberto De Zerbi. There were suggestions in the English media that Davies could act as a playing coach, but this ultimately did not happen. Davies can expect a new Dutch team-mate for the upcoming season as Jan Paul van Hecke pursues a move to Tottenham. The team already includes Xavi Simons and Micky van de Ven, who also represent this club. Davies will certainly be counting on a more successful season for both himself and the entire team. --- ## Related Articles 1.
