Saints Under-16s compete in NXT Cup
Southampton’s Under-16s finished fourth in the NXT Cup, a post-season international youth tournament held in Belgium.
A combined squad of Under-15s and Under-16s players took part in a busy schedule over two days, where they finished fourth out of eight teams from around Europe.
In the group stages, Saints finished second in Group A, thanks to a dominant win over Dutch side FC Roda and a draw with Belgian outfit Royal Union SG, despite defeat against the host side Club NXT.

Nick Oyekunle finished as the tournament's top scorer with seven goals across the five games played.
Elsewhere in Academy action, Saints' Under-14s travelled to Italy and featured in the Milan Futures Cup to close out their season.
