Lancashire made his first-team debut against Queens Park Rangers on 14 September 2008, but was sent off after 29 minutes, for a rash tackle on Damien Delaney.[2]
On 15 May 2010, Lancashire was named in a list of 13 players to be released from Southampton before the start of the 2010–11 season.[3][4]
Grimsby Town
In October 2009 Lancashire signed on a one-month loan for Grimsby Town.[5] In his second game for Town against Accrington Stanley on 30 October 2009, Lancashire received his third career red card, in only 15 league matches, after he was adjudged to have handled the ball in the penalty area.[6] In his next appearance for Grimsby, he scored an own goal whilst playing against Leeds United in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy quarter final away at Elland Road on 10 November 2009.[7] Lancashire returned for a second spell on loan at Grimsby on 23 December,[8] only to be recalled on 31 December due to an injury crisis at his parent club. On Transfer deadline day 1 February 2010, Lancashire joined Grimsby for a third time.[9]
