Jay Robinson signs first professional contract
Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that Jay Robinson has signed his first professional contract with the club until 2027.
The 17-year-old has penned professional terms to seal his latest milestone after an impressive couple of years at Staplewood.
Robinson broke into the Under-21s set-up in the 2022/23 campaign, and scored his first Premier League 2 goal at just 15-years-old before becoming a mainstay in the Under-18s side.
After signing his first year scholarship last season, he made 27 appearances across various age groups, scoring six goals.
"It's been a long time coming, waiting for this moment my whole life," Robinson said, after signing his new deal.
"Playing up with the older boys has made me more mature, so I think it's definitely benefitted me. I progressed a lot in the last two years, so it's been good."
Academy Director Andy Goldie, added "We're delighted that Jay has become the latest high potential talent to commit his future to the club, matching our belief in him with commitment to his long term development.
"He made good progress last season, playing centrally and wide with the Under-18s and Under-21s, and has already impressed Russell and the First Team staff during this pre-season.
"It’s important for him to continue to build on this momentum throughout the season, maximising the opportunities he has here, and we look forward to seeing his continued progress."
