Chaplow secures Saints switch

30 September 2010 16:30
Southampton have signed midfielder Richard Chaplow on a month-long loan from Preston. Saints manager Nigel Adkins has made Chaplow, 25, his first signing since taking over at St Mary's. "He is a quality midfield player who will add strength to the squad," said Adkins. Chaplow was placed on the transfer list by Preston boss Darren Ferguson at the end of last season and has not made a single first-team appearance this term. He is set to go straight into Saints' squad for Saturday's south-coast derby against Bournemouth.
