Garry was released by Premiership Southampton at the end of last season; Monk has been on loan at numerous clubs since Graham Souness signed him from Torquay back in 1996. He can play at central defence, full back or in central midfield. He has signed a three year deal (longer than any other player at present) so hopefully this signing will strengthen our back four.
