“Louis has had a great start to the season, training with the First Team at moments and getting his head down to continue his hard work.

“He’s a real talent and embodies our values on and off the pitch, so we’re really excited to see how he develops and opportunities like this are fantastic for young players.

“We’ll watch how he does and would like to wish him and his family a big congratulations on the news.
