Southampton manager Nigel Pearson beat Thursday evening's loan transfer deadline to land Sheffield United's experienced central defender Chris Lucketti.
The news that the deal had gone through for the 36-year-old was only confirmed on Friday afternoon.
Pearson told the Saints' official website: "I'm delighted that he's able to join us as he'll add further experience and cover to our defence for the run-in.
"He's a strong character who knows this division inside out and will add know-how and options for us."
