Club career

[edit]

Southampton

[edit]

Nlundulu signed a two-year contract extension in September 2019.[6] He made his first match day squad appearance as an unused substitute against Manchester United on 31 August 2019.[7] On 25 October 2020, Nlundulu made his senior debut as a substitute in Southampton's 2–0 home league win over Everton.[8]

On 19 January 2021, Nlundulu scored his first goal in Southampton's 2–0 victory over Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup.[9]

Loan moves

[edit]

On 14 July 2021, he signed a new three-year contract at Southampton, before being immediately loaned out to Lincoln City on a season-long loan.[10][11] He made his debut for the Imps on 17 August, coming off the bench against Bolton Wanderers.[12] He scored his first goal for the club against Wigan Athletic on 26 October 2021.[13] On 6 January 2022, Southampton recalled Nlundulu from his loan spell.[14] Later that day, he joined Cheltenham Town on loan until the end of the season.[15]

On 4 July 2022, Nlundulu rejoined Cheltenham Town until 8 January 2023.[16]

On 9 January 2023, Nlundulu joined Bolton Wanderers on a loan deal until the end of the season.[17][18] He was cup-tied as Bolton went on to win the 2022–23 EFL Trophy.[19]

Bolton Wanderers

[edit]

On 24 June 2023, Nlundulu signed permanently for Bolton on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[20][21] It was reported upon signing that Bolton paid a six figure sum for him[22] with later reports in February 2024 stating they paid £250,000.[23]

International career

[edit]

Born in France, Nlundulu is of Congolese descent. He moved to England at a young age with his family, when his brother Gaël[24] joined local rivals Portsmouth in 2008 from PSG. He is a youth international for England.[25]
