The 21-year-old came through the Arsenal academy before joining the Saints in August 2023.

He spent the first half of last season on loan in League Two with Accrington Stanley.

"I've liked him since we played Accrington last year - he adds good power and pace to the back line, he's confident on the ball, and he's a good age as well," boss Karl Robinson told the club website.
