I’m buzzing, it’s a big thing for me and my family and it’s a nice feeling.
I’ve always been a Sheffield boy, I played a couple of years at Sunday League and I came to trial for the academy when I was nine and I’ve been here all the way through to get to where I’m now.
I’ve put everything into the club and it’s nice to see the club putting everything into me by giving me a professional contract.
