He said: "We have a strong youth system here and that is testament to the quality of the coaching staff and volunteers in the academy.
"The three lads have each progressed through and, following really good scholarship and under-19s performances, are now part of the first team set-up.
"They have shown a willingness to learn, work hard and also to set an example to the players in the 19s too. We're looking forward to watching them develop with us."
