Will Merry signs first professional contract
Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that Will Merry has signed his first professional contract, keeping him at the club until June 2025.
The 17-year-old forward, who has been at the club since the age of eight, has signed professional terms during a productive personal season.
Merry is Saints’ top goalscorer in the Under-18s Premier League and has made ten appearances playing up the age groups in the B team, scoring a brace at St Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League Cup.
After penning his professional contract with the club, Merry reflected on the “dream” deal:
“It feels great, I think it’s been a long time coming. I’m really, really happy.
“I’ve really enjoyed it [this season], working with all the staff and the players. I think it’s a great group, there’s lots of talent and I’m really striving to make the team, so I’m loving it.”
