Southampton have secured Harley Willard to a pro deal.
Willard, who turns 17 today, has celebrated by penning full-time terms with the club after only becoming a scholar in June.
The winger is the first to do so in the 2014/15 campaign, following Josh Debayo, Marcus Barnes, Harry Isted and Josh Sims, who all agreed professional deals last season.
"I'm really happy to sign a professional contract at Southampton Football Club," Willard told the club's official YouTube channel. "It's a big Premier League club and I can't wait to progress here.
"It was really good to sign as a scholar. I'm grateful to have a professional contract as well."
