Jack Cork has today (Thursday) joined Southampton on loan until January 1, 2009.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at Scunthorpe United in the Championship, and was voted the club's Player of the Year after 35 appearances for the Glanford Park club.

Cork made his first appearance for the first team in last year's pre-season tour of America, and captained England at this summer's European under-19 Championship.
