Jason Puncheon has been welcomed back into the Southampton squad after patching up his differences with the club.
The 25-year-old looked set to leave St Mary's this month, after publicly clashing with Saints owner Nicola Cortese.
Puncheon, who has had loan spells at Millwall, Blackpool and QPR in the past 18 months, criticised Cortese on Twitter, and the club disciplined him.
The winger was interesting a number of clubs, with Saints' promotion rivals West Ham, Middlesbrough and Blackpool, all linked with a move.
But now he is back in the first-team squad and looks set to play his first game for the club since 2010.
Puncheon told Southampton's official website: "I admit my mistakes as a grown man, both my actions over the weekend and for the things that have occurred in the past, so I am pleased that Nicola has accepted my apology and granted me a clean slate.
"I know that I have a point to prove, and I know that some supporters have been on my back for the way that I have behaved in the past.
"I can only put that right through my performances on the pitch and showing that I am committed to Southampton Football Club."
