Sheffield United have signed four teenagers from the club's academy to professional contracts.
Ben Whiteman, David Brooks, Jake Eastwood and Jake Wright have all put pen to paper on deals.
Whiteman, 19, made his Football League debut for the Blades this season while 18-year-old Brooks was an unused substitute last month for the games against Crewe and Southend.
Sheffield-born Eastwood and Wright are both aged 19 and have been regulars for the under-21 side this campaign.
Blades boss Nigel Adkins told the club's official website: "An important part of a player's development is to have the hunger and attitude to work hard at their game and the passion to play football at the highest possible standard.
"We are pleased to give these lads more opportunity to develop and endeavour to be first team regulars at Bramall Lane."
