Charlie Wellens has signed pro terms with Manchester United.

Wellens, 17, has signed a two-year deal with the club after a fulfilling season with the Under-18s before the league season was cancelled.

Wellens's father, Richie, came through the United academy, making one appearance for the first-team in 1999, and the Swindon Town manager expressed his pride at his son's commitment to the club.

"Twenty-three years ago I signed my first professional contract at the biggest club in the world," Wellens tweeted. "To say I'm proud to see Charlie sign his is an understatement. Well done mate it's only the start but you deserve it."
