A year later, he was inducted into the club's Hall of Fame.

Wotton went on to spend three seasons with Southampton, who he won the Football League Trophy with at Wembley Stadium during the 2009–10 season. Towards the end of his time with the club, he was loaned out to Oxford United and Yeovil Town before joining the latter permanently. A year later, Wotton returned to Plymouth Argyle. Renowned for his leadership and powerful shot, he is a specialist at set pieces.
