Southampton sign Perry and Holmes

Southampton have completed a double signing with the capture of Luton defender Chris Perry and Derby midfielder Lee Holmes.

Perry, 35, had a successful loan spell at St Mary's last season and Saints made his switch permanent as they look to capitalise on his experience.

Also joining on a free transfer, 21-year-old Holmes opted for Saints over Leeds and Nottingham Forest.

Holmes spent the second half of last season on loan at Walsall.

He became the Rams' youngest ever player when he made his debut on Boxing Day 2002, aged 15 years and 268 days - and has also had loan spells at Swindon and Bradford.
