Atletico Madrid youngster Braulio has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 19-year-old striker put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal that ties him to Los Rojiblancos until June 2009.

The youngster has worked his way through the youth ranks at Atletico, and has broken into the first-team squad this year.

He now trains permanently with Cesar Ferrando's senior squad, and made his Primera debut in the league game at Real Sociedad earlier in the season.

Braulio has demonstrated his potential in this term's Copa del Rey where he is the club's top scorer with three goals.

The player, who has been at Atletico for five years, revealed he was 'very happy' to have signed his contract.
