Jack Marriott

Marriott joined up with Frank Lampard’s side at the start of this season after a £3m transfer from Peterborough.

This move capped an impressive rise up the Football League from the 24-year-old and came after a 2017/18 season in which he scored 33 goals.

He was at non-league outfit Woking as recently as 2015 and earned moves to Luton and then Peterborough after leaving parent club Ipswich.

One of Marriott’s key attributes is his movement in and around the box and he is sure to use his goal-poaching abilities to full effect if Saints give him a chance.
