Southampton

McLaggon was born in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan[1] and went to Barry Comprehensive School from where he joined the Southampton Academy.[citation needed] He came up through the ranks of the Saints youth system, signing professional forms in September 2007 on his 17th birthday.[2]

He was given the number 42 shirt ahead of Southampton's Championship fixture on 26 December 2008 at Home Park against Plymouth Argyle and made his first team debut as a second half substitute, replacing Lee Holmes after 58 minutes.[3] He then starred on his home debut on 28 December, coming off the bench against Reading and setting up Saints' opening goal with a pacy run out of midfield, before supplying David McGoldrick, who finished well past Adam Federici in the Reading goal.[4]

McLaggon scored his first Southampton goal on 27 January 2009, scoring the first of two goals towards Southampton's comeback against Norwich City.[5]

He joined Conference National team Eastbourne Borough on a month's loan on 11 November 2009 after recovering from a long-term injury.[6]

Merthyr Town

On 14 October 2013, McLaggon signed for Merthyr Town.[10] He made his debut for Merthyr against Slough Town on 19 October 2013 and scored his first goal from the penalty spot. On 29 April 2014, he scored two goals as Merthyr beat Swindon Supermarine 5–2 to reach the Southern League Division 1 South and West play-off final.[citation needed]
