Davies, who has played only a handful of games in the last year, told Tottenham’s official website, www.spursfc.co.uk: “Thay have stood by me. It has been a difficult year but I have a new long-term contract and want to repay that faith.

“The fans have also been brilliant – and very patient.

“Once I get back in the team I can move on with my career. Touch wood, I am now training pain-free for the first time for a long time. And if I can get involved with Wales’ game against England it will just be a bonus.”
