Joe Gelhardt has signed new terms with Wigan Athletic.

The 17 year-old has been linked with Chelsea and Liverpool.

The Liverpool-born forward told the club's official website: “I've been at this club since the age of 10, it's nearly eight years in February that I've been making my way through the Academy.

“The first thing I want to do is thank all of the staff at the Academy. They've taught me everything coming up as a young player.

“I've got to thank all of my family as well, they've supported me growing up, so we're all over the moon that I've committed my future to this club."
