Welshman McLaggon has previously represented his country at a number of levels, most recently being called up to the Under 19 squad.

Originally from Barry near Cardiff, McLaggon can play on the wing or in his preferred position up-front. His pace is a real asset and he excels in one-on-one situations with defenders.

He is also a good sprinter and has come up through the younger ranks of the Saints youth system, signing pro-forms in September 2007 on his 17th birthday.

In December 2008 he was given the no. 42 shirt ahead of the Championship fixture at Home Park against Plymouth Argyle and made his Saints debut as a second half substitute replacing Lee Holmes after 58 minutes.

He then starred on his home debut, coming off the bench again against Reading and setting up Saints' opening goal with a pacy run out of midfield, before supplying David McGoldrick, who finished well past the Royals 'keeper.

Kayne's first professional goal followed soon afterwards, as he scored Saints' first goal in a 2-2 draw against Norwich City at Carrow Road on 28th January 2009.

However, he ruptured his Achilles during a training session in February which has ruled him out until September 2009.
