IT is time to cast your vote for this year’s Southern Daily Echo Player of the Year.

A thoroughly disappointing season will end with Saints relegated to the Championship, curtailing the club’s 11-season stay in the top flight.

They now face a summer of change with a new manager expected to replace Ruben Selles while significant overhaul of the playing staff is also likely following relegation.

James Ward-Prowse is the current holder of the Southern Daily Echo Player of the Year award and should he win it again this season, the Saints captain will match Matt Le Tissier as the only players to do so three times.

Alex McCarthy is the only other previous winner in this season’s squad with past victors Shane Long, Nathan Redmond, and Oriol Romeu all departing St Mary's last summer.

Players with more than 500 Premier League minutes for Saints this season have been considered.

Voting closes on Wednesday, May 24 at 7PM.
