Archie Gray has signed a two-year scholarship with Leeds United.
The 16-year-old footballer is one of the club’s most highly-rated youngsters and joins nine other prospects in signing new deals.
The academy, which is based at Thorp Arch near Wetherby, offers players a variety of educational programmes including the BTEC diploma and A Levels that they can learn alongside developing their football skills.
Gray recently completed his GCSEs at St John Fisher Catholic High School in Harrogate.
The midfielder is yet to make his full debut for the club but has been named as an unused substitute in the Premier League.
On the final day of last season, he celebrated the club surviving relegation in the dressing room before going to sit his exams the next day.
Leeds United said:
“Everyone at the club wishes our new scholars well as they begin, or continue with, their Leeds United journey within our academy.”
