Eastleigh Football Club are pleased to confirm the signing of forward Zavier Massiah-Edwards, who joins the Spitfires on a month-long loan!

The 18-year-old attacker arrives on loan from Watford, having progressed through the Hornets’ academy after initially developing at Brentford at a young age. Zavier was first integrated into Watford’s U18s and U21s teams during his scholarship and impressed enough to earn a senior debut shortly after turning 17. His first appearance came in a Championship fixture in May 2024, marking the start of his involvement with the first-team squad.

In July 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Watford and went on to feature in several U21 matches, while also making additional Championship appearances in the 2024/25 season.

In February, Zavier scored the winning goal in an FA Youth Cup quarter-final against Southampton before the Hornets were eventually knocked out by Manchester City in the semi-final.

Upon signing for the club, Kelvin Davis said: “Zavier’s a tenacious, young man who’s hungry for more first-team action. He’s had experience at Watford, playing at first-team level in the Championship.

“He’s got a really hunger and desire, and I think he’s someone who can add a bit of pace to the frontline.”
