Blues striker Jack Marriott scored with a freekick deep in injury time to earn his loan club Woking a 1-1 home draw with Eastleigh in the final game of his current spell with the Cards.
The 20-year-old has hit form in the latter stages of his third stint with the Vanarama Conference club, netting three goals in five games.
Previously, the striker had gone nine starts and three sub appearances without scoring, having bagged on his third debut following his return to Woking in September. Last season the academy product scored 13 goals in 23 starts and one sub appearance during two spells with the Cards.
Speaking last week, manager Mick McCarthy indicated that Marriott, whose contract is up at the end of the season, is likely to be sent out on another loan spell: "Jack hadn’t been playing regularly at Woking, he’s not had the same degree of success in terms of scoring goals.
"He needs to get that, he needs to play somewhere regularly and get some goals before he even thinks about getting in my team.”
Meanwhile, McCarthy was spotted at St Mary’s this afternoon watching the Blues’ Sunday FA Cup opponents Southampton beat Arsenal 2-0.
Elsewhere, former Blues striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has joined League One Preston North End on a deal until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old left Town after a six-month spell in the summer having made two starts and eight sub appearances, coincidentally making his debut against Preston in last season's FA Cup.
Since then he has had trials with Oldham, Brentford and Bradford, before joining up with the Lilywhites at the start of last month.
