Portsmouth have signed defender Martin Cranie from south-coast rivals Southampton on a three-year deal.
The 20-year-old rejected a new contract at St Mary´s and Pompey agreed to pay undisclosed compensation to the Coca-Cola Championship club.
"Martin is a very promising young player who has the ability to go right to the very top of the game," said manager Harry Redknapp.
