Malachi Fagan-Walcott has revealed that he has signed for Cardiff City, less than a week after parting ways with Tottenham.
Fagan-Walcott was thought of highly while coming through the age group ranks at Spurs and has represented England at Under-17s and Under-16s levels.
Over the past few years, the versatile defender made 49 appearances for Spurs’ Under-21s in Premier League 2, having previously featured 20 times in the Under-18 Premier League (Transfermarkt).

The centre-back’s only first-team appearance for the Lilywhites came back in 2020, aged just 18, during the club’s Champions League defeat away to RB Leipzig.
Last week, the youngster took to X to confirm that he had departed Spurs following eight years at the club, thanking the coaches at the club for helping him develop into the player he has.
