Dan Harding

Harding started his career with Brighton in 2002 and went on to make 68 appearances in three years there.

His form earned him a £1.13m move to Leeds United in 2005, but it would be Ipswich Town that he would join Saints from.

As the club rebuilt in League One under Alan Pardew, Harding signed on a free transfer and became the first-choice left-back.

He would also stay with the club when they moved up to the Championship, playing 117 times before leaving in 2012.
