Olaigbe joins County on-loan
27/06/2022
Ross County are delighted to announce the loan signing of Kazeem Olaigbe for season 2022/23.
Belgian Youth Internationalist Kazeem joins The Staggies on a season-long loan from English Premier League side Southampton FC. At 19 years old, winger Kazeem is a promising young talent that has come through the prestigious Southampton Academy. Kazeem has also represented Belgium at various youth levels, appearing for the Under 19 side at this year’s Euro U19’s Finals Tournament.
Prior to joining Southampton’s academy in 2019 at 16 years old, Kazeem spent his youth career with Anderlecht in his homeland.
Our relationship with Southampton FC continues to thrive, with Kazeem being the fourth player to join us in the last year.
On securing Kazeem, Malky Mackay said: “Kazeem is a really exciting young talent that we have been aware of for some time. His performances in Premier League 2 saw him nominated for the League’s Player of the Season.”
“He is also a Belgian youth internationalist with Euro finals experience, who takes the next stage of his development in the Scottish Premiership.”
“I would also like to thank Southampton FC for continuing to trust Ross County as a positive place for developing talent.”
