Everton's centre-back Reece Welch has earned a four-year deal at the club.
The 19-year-old made his senior debut for the team last season against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup.
He has now signed on the dotted line to take him to 2026 with the Toffees.
Welch spoke about the likes of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski being part of the reason why he is so committed to Everton.
He said after renewing: “It's amazing to sign this new contract. I've been at this club since I was seven-years-old and seen so many players come through the academy into the first team and I've always wanted to be one of those.
"Now I've been in and around there, it inspires me to take the next step. I want to kick on in the first team, look to make a few more appearances and show what I'm about.
“I want to wear this blue shirt in the Premier League and, long-term, help Everton to success. Everton fans want hard work, dedication and passion for the club and if I can give that, hopefully I'll be able to do a good job for Everton."
