Saints sign Martin

Thu, 05 Nov 12:29:12 2009

Southampton have signed former England schoolboy international Aaron Martin from local non-League side Eastleigh.

The 20-year-old centre-half impressed during a recent trial with Saints and has been handed an 18-month contract by manager Alan Pardew.

"It's a massive step but I'm hoping I can prove myself, get into the first team and push on from there," Martin told Saints' official website.

"It would be unbelievable to play at St Mary's and I can't wait for that to come."
