Steven Davis

Davis came through the latter stages of the Aston Villa academy setup and progressed to their first-team back in 2004.

Three years there saw him make 99 senior appearances in all competitions before a £5m move to Fulham in 2007.

Then, following a fruitful spell with Rangers, he joined Saints on a free transfer following their promotion back to the Premier League and became a valuable member of the squad.

Seven years on the South Coast saw him rack up 226 appearances before leaving to rejoin Rangers back in July.
