A ruptured anterior cruciate ligament means it has been over a year since the 25-year-old last played, but that has not prevented speculation about a summer move mounting.
Soccer Cleats UK Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool were among those to have reportedly shown an interest, but Rodriguez has dashed their hopes by agreeing a new deal at Southampton.
Puma Soccer Cleats UK The England international's contract was due to expire next summer, but he has now penned an extension taking him through to 2019.
"I'm delighted," Rodriguez said. "It's a great club and we've done amazingly this year.
"It's been a tough year for myself being out, but I'm really delighted to sign the contract. It's now about looking forward to the future.
"The medical staff have all worked tirelessly with me, so this is great news. I just want to carry on improving now and to try to get some game time."
F50 Messi X UK The last of Rodriguez's 76 Southampton appearances came at Manchester City last April, when an awkward fall ended his World Cup dreams.
That injury has kept him out ever since but the forward could well make a first-team return before the season comes to a close.
Rodriguez's return will be a big boost for Southampton, while his renewed commitment to the club is a welcome development following last summer's unparalleled talent drain.
"This is very good news for the club because there was some speculation about Jay and interest from other big clubs, so it is a compliment to the club that we have an agreement," manager Ronald Koeman told Southampton's official YouTube channel.

"It's a good start to the summer business for us because it shows that everyone here is convinced by what we want to achieve."
