Sheffield United forward Che Adams has signed a contract extension with the Sky Bet League 1 club following a strong start to the season.
The 19-year-old, who joined from Northern Premier League side Ilkeston in November 2014, has prolonged his stay at Bramall Lane until the end of the 2017/18 campaign with the option for a further year
Boss Nigel Adkins told the club's official website: "Che is an emerging talent, he has so much ability.
"We are excited to have him at our disposal and his form, attitude and application throughout pre-season and into the league season has been fantastic.
"Like all the players, we must manage him correctly and try to improve him.
"Che works hard and every day he is learning more about his game and what we want him to contribute to the team. He is exciting to watch, the fans have taken to him and he certainly adds another dimension to our array of attacking threats."
After an impressive pre-season, Adams scored his first two goals for the club in their 2-0 victory over neighbours Chesterfield 10 days ago and has started all four League 1 matches this term.
The Blades sit fourth in the table ahead of Tuesday night's Capital One Cup tie at Fulham.
