Saints teenager joins Wycombe (October 13th 2015)

Southampton teenager Jason McCarthy has signed for Sky Bet League 2 high-flyers Wycombe on a one-month loan.

Centre-back McCarthy, 19, made his Saints debut as a substitute in the Boxing Day victory over Crystal Palace and captained the club to the Under-21 Premier League Cup last term.

"Jason's a very highly-rated defender who's had good experience in the under-21s at Southampton and they feel he's ready to go out and get a taste of what senior football is like at League Two level," Chairboys boss Gareth Ainsworth explained on his club's official website.

"Our last two games haven't reached our high standards defensively and he's a new option who adds competition for us, with Anthony Stewart still missing for another couple of months."
