Former Blues keeper Cody Cropper is on trial with Premier League new boys Southampton. The US U20 international was released by Town at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old played for a Saints U21 side as they beat Sholing 2-1 in an early pre-season friendly on Tuesday night.

Cropper, who spent time training with the Seattle Sounders back in the US in May, never made a first team appearance for the Blues but was on the senior side's bench on three occasions.
