SAINTS B goalkeeper Ollie Wright has signed a new two-year contract and will join Bath City on loan for the 2023-24 season.
The 20-year-old has spent over a decade at Saints and has risen through the academy.
Wright was a key part of Saints B’s successful 2022-23 campaign, where he lifted the Premier League 2 Division 2 title.
The shot-stopper conceded 17 times in 15 games and kept four clean sheets.
After penning new terms at St Mary's, he will now gain further experience with his first senior loan move to National League South side Bath City.

He also became a regular figure in first-team training and around the travelling squad towards the end of the season.
Speaking to the Daily Echo in March Wright detailed his ambitions of securing a senior loan move: “I’ve been playing for the B team for two or three seasons now just learning, so hopefully I get the chance to go out on loan next season and develop.”
