Wotton signs

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Saints have completed their third summer signing with the capture of Paul Wotton.
The 30-year-old defensive central midfielder, who can also play at the back, has agreed terms at St Mary's and signed having successfully completing a medical.
Wotton has spent his entire career at Plymouth, making his debut in 1994 and racking up more than 400 starts for them in a 14-year stint at Home Park. Up until March of this year he spent 15 months on the sidelines with cruciate ligament injury.
However, he was deemed surplus to requirements and was released when his contract expired at the end of the season and Saints have moved quickly to try and beat off interest from other Football League clubs to snap him up.
Wotton said, "I know Jason Dodd well from his time on loan at Plymouth and Micky Evans is a good friend and I spoke to them both about it and they backed up what I already knew. They both spoke very highly about the club and the area and I am really excited to be coming here”.
