He is now 17 and a mainstay in the first team and owes a great deal to the Championship side.

“I am absolutely buzzing, to be honest," the 17-year-old told club media after signing his first professional deal. 

"It is a proud moment for myself and my family to be signing my first professional contract at a Club like Sunderland. I have been dying to sign it for almost a year now.

"I want to develop as a player and improve as a person – and I believe this is the best place for me to do that. All the staff have been unbelievable with me throughout my journey at the Academy of Light, but there are still so many improvements I can make.

"The hard work starts now, but I am looking forward to making many more memories representing this Club.”
