Young Southampton defender Christoph Klarer has joined Austrian side SKN St Pölten on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 19-year-old centre back has moved back to his homeland for the coming months as he takes up an exciting opportunity to continue his development.
Klarer, who recently signed a new contract until 2021 at St Mary’s and is a regular for Southampton’s Under-23s team, links up with St Pölten, who are ninth in the Austrian Bundesliga.
The club would like to wish Christoph well for the remainder of the season, and looks forward to monitoring his progress over the coming months.
