Southampton Football Club can confirm that striker Princewill Ehibhatiomhan has joined Swindon Town on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old heads out for his first senior loan, a month after signing a new contract to extend his time at the club.
Last season, he scored 12 goals across the Premier League 2, PL Cup, and PL2 play-offs in his most productive Academy campaign, and the young striker will now get a taste of life in League 2 for his next challenge.
The club would like to wish Princewill the best for the upcoming year and looks forward to monitoring his progress.

In my opinion a bit of a disappointing move, at least I won't have to struggle spelling his name correctly!
According to the Echo the move triggers a one year extension on his contract, to 2027, which looks like common sense. If he does well we can consider extending it further and if he doesn’t do too well we can sell him on for a small fee.
