Saints Sign New Keeper Monday, 1st Aug 2016 18:18 It was probably the worst kept secret in football but Saints have announced that goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has joined the club from Crystal Palace. Saints have announced that they have signed former Reading and QPR keeper Alex McCarthy on a three year contract from Crystal Palace. Of course the club are saying the usual statements about competing for a place, but the reality is that McCarthy is here as back up to Fraser Forster. In truth he is the standard we require, at 26 he has a fair amount of experience although not that much in the Premier League. With at least six Europa League games to play as well as games in the domestic cup competitions, it could be that Fraser Forster may be rested for the odd game or two to give McCarthy a game or two to keep him sharp. Executive Director of Football Les Reed said: “Once again, I am delighted to welcome another player to the squad at Southampton.
