Dale Stephens

Stephens is still at Brighton having established himself as a reliable operator at both Championship and Premier League level.

He’s played 190 times for the club since joining from Charlton Athletic in 2014 and was a key man as the Seagulls secured promotion to the top-flight in 2016/17.

His spell with Saints is less memorable as he spent just two months on-loan at St Mary’s.

He signed temporarily from Oldham Athletic as Saints pushed for promotion from League One in the 2010/11 campaign and played six times.
