Southampton signed young Trinidadian midfielder Kenwyne Jones in April 2004 on a nominal fee from W Connection after he impressed on a week's trial at St Mary's.

Saints chairman Rupert Lowe told his club's website: "He did well on trial so we signed him quickly because a lot of other clubs wanted him.

"He is a tremendous athlete and the coaching staff believe they can turn him into a very good footballer. We hope we have got ourselves a very good player. He is certainly not short on confidence!"
