Stephens knew it was his “last chance” at Saints as he eyes his next big step
Show/hide article…
JACK Stephens admitted he knew this season was his “last chance” at Saints – but is now setting his sights on a permanent spot at centre-back after taking his big opportunity.
The 23-year-old had spent time out on loan at Swindon, Middlesbrough and Coventry and, last summer, his St Mary’s dream looked to be hanging by a thread, writes Peter Howard.
“In pre-season I did feel like this was my last chance to really show what I can do at this football club,” he said.
"Obviously with the new manager coming in he did say to me that there’s a lot of things I need to work on to be able to play in his team.
“I went away to do that and I feel like I’ve improved and I’m grateful for the chance I’m getting.”
The Cornishman made his Saints debut in an FA Cup game in 2012, but had to wait nearly five years for his second appearance, which came at right-back in the EFL Cup win over Sunderland back in October.
Stephens followed that up with a decent display at Everton at the beginning of the year as an early substitute for Cedric Soares, before proving himself at central defence in the FA Cup against Norwich.
Then, with Jose Fonte departing in January and Virgil van Dijk suffering a long-term foot ligament injury, Saints boss Claude Puel threw the England Under-21 international in at the deep end.
He has since kept his place next to Maya Yoshida at the heart of Saints’ backline for 12 successive games, keeping experienced defender Martin Caceres, the former Barcelona and Juventus man who arrived as a free agent in February, out of the team.
Stephens is now planning on keeping his place for good.
“It’s definitely my aim,” he said. "It’s going to be very difficult, of course, because we’ve got some very good players here and I’m sure there will be a few arrivals in the summer.
“But it’s up to me to perform as best as I can and keep improving and try to keep my place in the team.”
So how does he become a permanent fixture at the back for Saints?
“By showing signs of development, showing signs of learning and I think being a consistent performer in the team,” he said.
“Nobody wants a player who is up and down in consistencies levels, especially as defenders we need to be solid every week and I’m really working hard to get to that.”
He added: "I knew at the start of the season that it was going to be hard for me to breakthrough and get game time.
"But the manager said if I’m patient, work hard at my game, then I’ll get opportunities.
“It’s fair to say I’ve had more opportunities than I expected, but I feel like I’m doing myself justice now and I’ve earned myself chances to play in the team.”
Stephens believes that he and Yoshida are developing into a trustworthy partnership at the back.
“Maya and I have become stronger as a unit and that comes from playing games and being used to being next to each other and learning each other’s games,” he said.
"The only way you can do that is playing games next to each other.
"We were disappointed to concede against Manchester City (in the 3-0 defeat), especially after having been on a run in which we kept two clean sheets in three games.
"That was disappointing and we spoke about it after the game … it’s something we don’t want to happen again.
“We feel stronger, there’s a bond between me and Maya and hopefully we can continue that.”
Injured captain Van Dijk has also taken Stephens under his wing, taking time out from his recovery from injury to help the rookie defender.
“Virgil’s been fantastic to me all season, even when he was playing next to Jose Fonte they were both very helpful towards me and helped me in improving as a player,” he said.
"Since his unfortunate injury he’s been great and we speak after games. He’ll send me a text if he’s watched the game.
“It’s nice to have someone of his quality to look up to and help me improve.”
Puel has not only given Stephens, who arrived from Plymouth Argyle in 2011, his chance this season, with fellow academy men Sam McQueen and Josh Sims also making an impact.
The Torpoint-born defender admits having a manager who is willing to put faith in youth is very positive for the club.
“It’s great for young players because you can see there’s light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.
"Sometimes you’re working so hard and you feel like you’re not getting anywhere, but you can look at other players who have broken through and you can see there will be opportunities if you work hard and are ready for them.
“It’s important for all the young players at the club to be able to see us coming into the first team … it gives everyone hope.”
Stephens revealed that he feels like he’s really flourishing in his new prominent role after initially feeling a bit off pace.
“When you first come into the team there are little mistakes,” he said. "No matter how fit you feel you’re going to be rusty when you come into the team having not played for so long.
“The more games you play the more familiar you become with your surroundings and I’ve felt more comfortable in the last four or five weeks and hopefully I can keep building my performances.”
He continued: "There’s going to be times when you have a bad game or you don’t feel like you’ve had a full impact on the game, but I’ve been fairly happy with my performances.
"When I first came into the team at centre-back there were a couple of little errors which I was disappointed with because I set high standards for myself.
“It’s something I take pride in that I want to be the best I can be and I feel like I’m improving now.”
Stephens doesn’t plan to dwell too much on any of his performances this term.
“There’s not much time to think about it because there’s plenty of games and especially in the next four or five weeks we’ve got a lot of tough games, so there’s not a lot of time to reflect on how I’ve been doing,” he explained.
“I’ll save that for the end of the season.”

Liverpool and Southampton watch £6m-rated Henry Onyekuru
Show/hide article…
Southampton, Bournemouth and Liverpool were all represented as Henry Onyekuru continued his impressive form for Belgian side Eupen on Saturday.
The coveted 19-year-old, also a target for West Bromwich Albion and Celtic, scored his 17th goal of the season in his side’s 3-3 draw at Kortrijk in the Belgian league’s Europa League play-offs.
Onyekuru is valued at £6million and is in contention to become Belgium’s player of the year.
The Nigerian-born winger has also attracted offers from Borussia Monchengladbach and Club Brugge.
He has now scored five goals in his last four games and has promised to give an answer on his future to interested clubs after the play-offs.
Arsenal and Chelsea have also checked on Onyekuru, who has been told he will be allowed to leave this summer.

LAWRIE MAC: Numbers game proves age no barrier for safety
Show/hide article…
At this time of the year numbers pop up regularly which make interesting reading.
Every club wants to be number one and at the top, but most are happy to be one-four in the Premier League, meaning qualification for the Champions League.
At the other end the battle is on to avoid 18th, 19th or 20th place.
It is always a sad time if a club is relegated but never more than now with the amounts of money involved at Premier League level.
Other numbers that hit the eye were £5m, which would be paid by a new team in Los Angeles in America to 35-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic. That comes with the added bonus that he would be allowed when their shorter season finishes to spend the rest of the time back in the Premier League.
And then we get Diego Costa being offered, would you believe, £625,000 a week, after tax, to pop over to China.
I am sure the players who we mentioned last week being in the lower divisions desperately wanting another contract will be impressed when they read that.
Other numbers were to do with age, with our good friend Harry Redknapp, who is now 70, being asked to step in to save Birmingham City from relegation.
The task will not be easy with only three games remaining, and the first one being tomorrow against deadly rivals Aston Villa. One of the other two is against Huddersfield, who are pushing for promotion.
Harry impressed everyone by saying it wasn’t about money, he was just happy to do the job free of charge, but I can imagine if he does keep them up there will be a big bonus, and good luck to him.
He could well join the veterans club which I referred to earlier in the season, who are often called in when owners are panicking, with no long contract in mind but a request to keep them in the league.
A good example of this has been Neil Warnock at Cardiff. Neil is now 68.
When he went there he said he had retired to live in Cornwall, but when the offer came along his wife begged him to take it, whereas Harry said when he accepted the Birmingham situation after a 15 mintue meeting in London, his wife said ‘you must be mad.’ Basically I think the wives of all football managers will understand the attraction of the ‘one last chance.’ Sam Allardyce, who is now 62, is another who could be following Warnock by keeping his latest club, Crystal Palace, in the top flight.
Roy Hodgson emerged from the shadows after leaving England last year to go all the way down to Australia, but only I think for a shorter stint doing coaching sessions. He of course is now 69.
It’s not only managers who are getting on and still wanting to be involved.
We read and hear a lot nowadays about Arsene Wenger and his 20 year period at Arsenal.
He is the longest serving manager, with the second longest being Paul Tisdale, an ex-Saints youngster who, along with Steve Perryman, the former Tottenham player, have been leading Exeter City for 11 years.
The interesting thing there is that another of our ex-Saints youngsters, Matt Oakley, is still listed as a player-coach, and he will be 40 in August.
The message is certainly that there are still calls for English coaches, particularly when clubs are in precarious positions.
It is great to see Chris Hughton come back into the top flight, but I would also like to give a mention to Tony Bloom, a local businessman who has stood by the club through thick and thin.
I put him into the same category as Peter Coates at Stoke City, Steve Gibson at Middlesbrough, Bill Kenwright at Everton and ex-footballer Dave Whelan at Wigan.
They are all local businessmen who make their money and never hesitate to put some of it back in to keep their clubs alive and kicking.
My wife Anne and I, like much of the country, got settled down just before 9pm a few days ago to see the final episode of Broadchurch.
So many suspects but that night was the one where we would find out who was actually the guilty party.
The programme was halfway through at 9.30pm, excitement was building up when bang, everything went off – TV, lights, heating, the lot.
I looked out the window and it wasn’t just us. It turned out it was the whole village.
As it happened everything went back on at 9.55pm just in time to show who the guilty one was.
We didn’t know whether to look, but when you are like me and don’t know what catch-up means, and every newspaper the next day would have the names in anyway, I had no choice, but it does make me want to delay paying my next electric bill for at least 25 minutes.
