Saints win race to sign Holmes
06 Jun 2008 - 14:33:12
Southampton have beaten off competition from Leeds United and Nottingham Forest to land Derby County midfielder Lee Holmes on a Bosman free transfer.
The 21-year-old became the Rams' youngest ever player when he made his first-team debut for the club on Boxing Day 2002 aged 15 years and 268 days.
However, Holmes' career has stalled in the last two seasons and he spent the first half of the 2006-07 campaign on loan with Bradford City before moving to Walsall on a temporary basis in January.
Holmes made 29 first-team starts and 23 appearances from the substitute's bench for County.
