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 to Austria for the remainder of the season and will be looking to get the experience behind him during the rest of this season that will enable him to make a push for a first team place next season, he joined Saints from Rapid Wien's academy in July 2016 shortly after turning 16 and has made steady progress since
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 and hopefully will get the chance to toughen up and show what he can do in a adult league.
