Dan Harding upon signing with the Spitfires...
"Early on I had a few offers from different clubs, one being Portsmouth.
"Don’t get me wrong Portsmouth is a big club and I would imagine they are going to do very well this season, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
"I had the best three years of my life at Saints and I still consider myself a fan. It would not have felt right for me to sign for them.
"I will never forget the career I have had and I am really proud of it. My memories of two promotions with Southampton were stuff dreams are made of.
"Not only for the whole experience but the squad of players we had over those years. As a player you couldn’t have asked for more and I am still close with lots of them now."
