Middlesbrough youngster Adam Reach has signed a new four-year contract with the Championship club.
The 19-year-old, who made his debut for the club last year, has been a regular member of their squad this season.
"He's a young player who is progressing well and we're pleased he's committed his future to us. He's done exceptionally well and deserves his contract. We hope he sees this as a place to develop his skills," club boss Tony Mowbray told Sky Sports News.
"Hopefully we will see him develop quickly from now on. He's made an impact in the team this year and we're hoping he'll have a lot more exposure to the team as the season unfurls.
"He's positive, he's creative and he can score a goal. He has some attributes we hope to develop and hopefully he will fulfil that potential. If he continues to progress the way he has been, we'll all be happy."
Middlesbrough are currently eighth in the Championship.
