Leeds teenager Ronaldo Vieira has signed a new three-year contract.
Midfielder Vieira, 18, has been a regular this season under head coach Garry Monk, starting in four Sky Bet Championship matches.
"It feels great to have managed this within less than a year of first coming to the club, especially because it's a club like Leeds," Vieira told the club's official website.
Vieira's twin brother, Romario, who is currently in the club's development squad, has put pen to paper on a one-year deal.
"Me and my brother have played together for most of our lives - I'm happy to be sharing the same club with him again and I'm happy he's been given the opportunity," Ronaldo Vieira added.
Ronaldo Vieira, born in Guinea-Bissau but raised in Portugal, joined Leeds' academy from York-based i2i Football Academy in 2015 while studying at York College and later signed a two-year contract in April 2016.
He made his first-team debut as a late substitute at Preston on the final day last season and started on the opening day of this campaign in the defeat at QPR.
