Signing from Rangers early into the 2023/24 campaign, Souleyman quickly became part of Richard Beale's U21s group. 

Following several appearances in Leigh Downing's 18s group, Mandey featured during the U21s' 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at end October 2023.

A tall, powerful midfielder who can play as a defender when required, Souleyman grew up in Austria - beginning his footballing education in KSV Siemens' youth ranks, before several spells around Austria took him to the UK where, after a couple of years at the Pulse Academy, he signed professional terms with Scottish giants Rangers  in June 2022.

Receiving his first international cap for Austria's U17s during the early stages of 2023, Mandey will hope to reap the benefits of being around Albion's young pros during his spell at the club, as he targets building towards a first-team future.
