Saints Release Four Players

Saints have released four players after their contracts ended at St Mary's, thanking them for their contributions.

There are no real surprises in the announcement that the four players named will not be offered a new deal at St Mary's.

Cuco Martina almost joined Everton a year ago, but the deal was blocked at the last moment with injuries and other issues meaning that he was needed as cover and therefore stayed with the club, he looks set to join Ronald Koeman at Everton although it is not a signing that will fill the Goodison faithful with any excitement.

Martin Caceres has had a strange time at the club, despite goals being leaked left right and centre in a defence that went from one of the tightest to one of the worst in the premier League after january he spent every game without getting on to the field until the game at Middlesbrough a fortnight ago.

He showed enough there to suggest that there was some strange thoughts in Claude Puel's head as to why he wasn't given much more of a chance.

Lloyd Isgrove was going to be the next big thing when he came on as substitute in Ronald Koeman's first game in charge at Anfield in August 2014, however this would be the only 8 minutes of Premier League football he would get as a Saints player although he would make a few other appearances in various cup games over the next 3 years, but turning 24 he was clearly not going to make it at the club and their should be no shortage of suitors at League One level where a year ago he scored the third goal for Barnsley in their win over Millwall in the play off final at Wembley.

Harley Willard will not be a familiar name to most Saints fans in that he did not make a first team appearance at the club, nor did he get close to doing so, at 20 he perhaps needs a fresh start somewhere and given Saints reputation in the game for developing academy players he will perhaps not be oo long without a club.
