SAINTS have confirmed their latest intake of academy scholars, with 12 youngsters signing scholarships ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The new group will form the core of Andrew Surman's under-18s squad, with the majority already having gained experience at that level.
Midfielder Max Little and striker Jude Daniels are among the standout names after both enjoyed breakthrough seasons last term.
England under-17 international Little made 21 appearances in the Under-18 Premier League, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
The central midfielder has been with Saints since joining the pre-academy at the age of six, and is considered one of the country's top prospects.
Daniels featured 21 times for the under-18s, registering six goals and an assist after progressing through the academy since the age of eight.
Midfielder Archie Lovatt, who joined from Crystal Palace's academy, also returns after making 14 appearances and registering four assists last season.
Goalkeeper George Moloney and former Slough Town winger Kynan Duffy sign on, having both featured 10 times during the previous campaign.
Republic of Ireland youth international Moloney also made his under-21 debut against Stoke City in April, while Duffy made his FA Youth Cup debut.
Defender Bobby Martin, who has represented England at under-16 level, winger Tyler Lemon and left-back George Robinson have been signed.
Meanwhile, attacker Marley Parry and full-back George Wells are also among the new scholars after featuring for the under-18s last season.
Goalkeepers Hadley Clark and Adam Brogan complete the intake. Brogan, an Irish youth international, is the only player yet to play in the under-18s.
Several scholars have progressed through the academy from pre-academy level, with the club continuing its tradition of promoting homegrown talent.
