I'd love to know what's happened to some of the older lads.

O'Brian Whitmarsh
Awe
Lawrence
Armitage
Ballard

Presumably, considering their ages, they've all been told they can move on?

O'Brien-Whitmarsh I want to know about. Assuming he's injured because he had an impressive loan spell last season and was doing well for our u21s before.

Armitage still plays regularly, Awe is on loan already I think. The other two I think will be sold/loaned out.

Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce that Harry Gathercole has signed his first professional contract, keeping him at the club until 2027.
The 17-year-old midfielder has been with the club since the age of nine, rising through the ranks of his childhood club.
After making his Under-18s debut at just 15-years-old, Gathercole signed his scholarship contract in 2024 and went on to have a standout campaign with Andrew Surman's side last season. He scored 12 goals and added four assists in 20 appearances across all competitions, and more recently was involved in the Under-21s squad against Woking in the National League Cup.

Presumably Mr Gathercole senior had to sign the contract as his son is still a miner?
