02 September 2009 10:52
Former Birmingham and Bolton defender Radhi Jaidi has joined struggling Southampton. The Tunisian giant was available on a free transfer and has agreed a two-year deal at St Mary's. 'The first thing for me is the fact that Southampton is a big club and I have known that ever since I came to England,' said Jaidi. 'As soon as I was given the opportunity to come here I accepted because I know this club has a big infrastructure. 'I think I can add strength and experience to the team, and that's what I will bring to help us reach our targets.' Jaidi, 34, was released by Barclays Premier League new boys Birmingham at the end of last season and has now dropped down to League One.
