Former Blue Cody Cropper has signed a professional contract with Premier League Southampton after impressing while on trial.
The US U20 international keeper was released by the Blues at the end of last season and has spent most of the summer with the Saints.
With Richard Wright joining Manchester City yesterday, both the keepers Town let go at the end of 2011/12 are now with Premier League sides. Wright had been working with the Blues academy since the start of pre-season.
