Stuart Taylor is set to be released by Southampton.
Southampton goalkeeper Stuart Taylor is leaving the club after two years as a back-up.
The veteran has not played a first team game since he left Leeds in 2015, and has made a career as a high profile reserve.
Southampton confirmed the decision yesterday.
The former Arsenal goalkeeper was once regarded as one of England’s brightest prospects, but his willingness to accept being a back-up has seen him become a punchline in recent seasons.
He had the respect of Southampton fans despite never making an appearance for the club, and was seen as a popular figure in the dressing room.
Despite this, Taylor could not continue with the Saints forever and they have made the decision to move on.
Here is a look at how Southampton fans reacted on Twitter to Taylor’s exit.
