SAINTS are set to stage a testimonial for long-serving club captain Kelvin Davis at the end of this season. 

In celebration of the keeper's ten-year stay at St Mary's, Ronald Koeman's first-team will take on a side of players that represented the club during their successive promotions.

The 'Promotions Eleven' will be made up of players from the 2010/11 League One campaign and the 2011/12 Championship season. 

The event will take place at St Mary's on the evening of Tuesday 17, May – two days after the Barclays Premier League season ends.

"I was delighted to learn that, in response to requests from fans, the club has agreed to stage a testimonial match in recognition of my ten seasons here," Davis said.

Daily Echo: Davis when he joined Saints and now.

"I see this as a real opportunity for us to celebrate all that’s happened at the club over the past few years, and I hope that I will be able to welcome back many of the players who were involved in our promotion seasons that took us to the Premier League.

"It's also a fantastic opportunity for me to support my chosen charity which is the Liver and Pancreatic Cancer Research & Development Charity, who are based here in Southampton."

"I am really looking forward to celebrating my ten seasons at this great club with staff and players from past and present – and, of course, the supporters who have become so important to me and my family.”

Ticketing and hospitality arrangements for the match will be announced in the near future, along with confirmation of the players who will line up for the Promotions Eleven.
