Landers's transfers are dominated by temporary moves after his January 2025 transfer to West Ham United on an undisclosed deal – the pattern of successive loans to Boreham Wood and then Ayr United in 2026 indicates a development strategy via short-term placements rather than permanent first-team consolidation.
