Time to kick on - Cropper

New Southampton goalkeeper Cody Cropper is hoping he can "kick on" with the Premier League club.

The 19-year-old American agreed a two-year deal with the Saints having impressed on a trial after being released by Ipswich. Cropper hopes to eventually challenge for a first-team place. He told Saints Player: "It was nerve-racking to come down to a Premier League club having been at a Championship club before that but I think it's a great opportunity to me. "There are a lot of good guys here and it's place that I can kick on and develop my career so I'm looking forward to it."
