17-7-10: Southampton have continued building for a promotion push in the coming season by signing experienced defender Danny Butterfield. The 30-year-old joins The Saints on a free transfer having been released by The Eagles this summer after eight seasons with the Selhurst Park outfit. Butterfield brings a wealth of experience to Alan Pardew's team having accrued 250 starts for Palace at Premier League and Championship level. The club's newest signing is now the second ex-Palace defender in the Saints squad, following his old team-mate Jose Fonte to the south coast. Butterfield will be vying with another summer signing, Frazier Richardson, to start at right-back for the League One outfit this season.
