Playing career
Exeter City
Seaborne was born in Barnstaple, Devon.[2] A defender who plays at centre half or left back, he began his football career as a trainee with Exeter City, and signed his first professional contract in May 2005. He spent several spells on loan, to Clyst Rovers in the 2004–05 season, Tiverton Town in September 2005,[3] and Taunton Town in January 2006,[4] before making his Conference debut in the 3–1 home win over Dagenham & Redbridge in April 2006.[5] Also in the same month Seaborne scored his first career goal, a header from a corner, in the 4–0 home win against Crawley Town. He was rewarded with a new one-year contract,[6] but, unable to get a regular place in the team, was loaned out again, this time to Conference South side Dorchester Town.[7] In June 2007 he signed a new one-year deal,[8] but a broken leg sustained as the result of a bad tackle in a pre-season friendly against South West Peninsula League side Bodmin Town kept him out for three months.[9][10] Once restored to the team, he formed a successful defensive partnership with Matt Taylor, was handed the captaincy, and led them to promotion via the play-off final, in which they beat Cambridge United 1–0.[11][12] Seaborne signed a new two-year contract before the 2008–09 season, and was a regular in the side as Exeter were again promoted, this time to Football League One.[3]
Southampton
On 13 January 2010, Seaborne signed for Southampton for an undisclosed fee on a three and a half year contract.[13] He made his debut on 16 January playing alongside two other recent signings, José Fonte and Jon Otsemobor, in a 1–1 draw at Millwall.[14]
Assault incident
On 1 September 2011, Seaborne was the victim of a serious assault outside a nightclub in Southampton. He is currently receiving treatment at Southampton General Hospital and doctors have described his condition as stable.[15]
