Jack O'Toole

Southampton have announced the signings of Republic of Ireland underage internationals Kameron Ledwidge and Sean Brennan to professional contracts.

The pair enjoyed successful debut seasons for the Saints’ Under-18s side last season and have both signed three-year deals, which will keep them at the club until June 2021.

The club also signed forward Enzo Robise to a contract after joining from French club Reims in 2017 with academy manager Matt Hale commenting: “Enzo, Kameron and Sean are talented young players with huge potential.

“Being rewarded with a professional contract shows the faith we have in them and our programme to fulfil that potential.

“It is also a reflection of the recruitment footprint we now have and the reputation the academy holds, in terms of attracting international youth players from across Europe.

“We look forward to seeing how Enzo, Kameron and Sean progress over the coming months.”

Brennan and Ledwidge follow the recent Irish signings of Troy Parrott to Tottenham and Tyreke Wilson to Manchester City.
