The 22-year-old is a youth product of Norsemen FC, where he signed aged 9, before being picked up by Tottenham Hotspur at the age of 13.

Fagan-Walcott penned a first professional deal with the Premier League side in 2018 before going on to gain senior experience with Spurs in the EFL Trophy, the UEFA Champions League from the bench, and with Dundee during a brief loan spell.

England have called on the defender's services internationally too, in U16 & U17s, with several caps secured across the two age groups.

Cardiff City acquired him in the summer of 2023, picking up the defender to play in their Under-21s setup.

In January, Fagan-Walcott was signed on loan by Dunfermline manager James McPake, who'd initially taken the defender to Dundee previously.

15 appearances in the Scottish Championship followed, netting three goals too.

In June, The Bluebirds extended his contract before he went on to make his Championship debut as a substitute away to Burnley in August.

Welcome to The Minstermen, Malachi!

Subject to league and FA approval & international clearance.
