Dominic Edward Gape (born 9 September 1994)[3] is an English footballer who plays in central midfield for Southampton.[4]
Playing career
Gape joined Southampton when he was eight years old, joining their academy before being promoted to the Development Squad. He captained the Under-18 side in 2012–13.[3]
He became part of the first-team squad in 2012, as an unused substitute in a League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday on 25 September 2012.[3][5] He signed his first professional contract in May 2013.[2] His progress was then impeded by a series of illnesses and injuries, firstly by an ankle ligament injury and then a bout of glandular fever at the end of the 2013–14 season, before he broke a metatarsal in the summer of 2014.[2]
He made his Premier League debut on 20 December 2014, as an 89th-minute substitute for Shane Long in a 3–0 victory over Everton.[6][7]
