Belgian winger Steve De Ridder joined Saints for a significant undisclosed fee in July 2011
He arrived from top flight Dutch side De Graafschap, and was something of a coup for the Club, as a host of top flight European sides were also chasing the winger's signature.
Steve is a right footed attacking player who can play naturally on either wing, and he signed a three year contract at St. Mary's ahead of the 2011/12 Championship campaign.
De Ridder - which translates to "The Knight" - became a firm fans favourite during his time with De Graafschap, and is known for his lightening quick speed, tremendous crossing ability and tendency to score remarkable goals.
