Southampton Football Club can confirm that Academy goalkeeper Khiani Shombe has left the club by mutual consent.

The 19-year-old joined Saints in July 2024 after impressing on trial, following a unique journey through the London-based Kinetic Academy and non-league football.

During his time at the club, he featured for the Under-18s six times and made the Under-21s squad on multiple occasions despite not appearing for them.

As he departs to pursue an opportunity elsewhere with Hull City, the club wishes Khiani the best for the next stage of his career.
