STERN John has made a surprise return to Saints – and told Mark Wotte he wants to earn a new contract.
The Trinidad & Tobago international is out of contract and spent the back half of last season on loan at Bristol City.
However, after not securing a deal there, the striker, pictured, has made a shock return to Staplewood where he has been training with the first team with the aim of earning himself a new deal.
Saints boss Mark Wotte said: “Stern John is training and I had a chat with him.
“He seems really keen on trying to stay at Southampton.
“He has to become fit because he didn’t do a lot in the summer so he has to be fitter.
“If he’s fit then I think he can have some friendly games to prove himself.
