Saints have moved to address their defensive frailties by signing 19-year-old centre-back Alex Pearce on loan from Reading.
Pearce has made 8 first-team appearances for the Royals this season and has scored one goal - in a 5-1 Carling Cup win against Luton Town. He made 22 appearances in the Football League last season in loan spells at Bournemouth and Norwich City.
He will be here until 1st January, but will not be eligible to play when Saints face Reading at St Mary’s next month.
