Rohart-Brown has been formally unveiled following a rigorous procedure, and he will continue his study while partnering with the Saints Under-18s.
Andy Goldie, the director of Southampton Academy, stated: “Thierry and his family are a welcome addition to the Academy. Thierry was our top target following a thorough process conducted by Jack Chapman, Simon Jones, and our scouting team. We are excited to help Thierry develop over the next few years, as well as take advantage of his adaptability throughout our midfield profiles.
“Thanks must also go to Mark Bowen and Michael Gilkes at Reading, who have been incredibly supportive and professional throughout the process.”
