Alex Mighten has expressed his delight at signing a new contract with Nottingham Forest.
The winger has inked fresh terms on a deal that will keep him at the City Ground until 2025.
Mighten, whose godfather is Forest legend Des Walker, is the latest top talent to emerge from the Nigel Doughty Academy.
The England Under-18 international made his Forest debut in the Carabao Cup defeat to Arsenal last season.
He followed that appearance up with 90 minutes in the FA Cup at Chelsea in January and that performance convinced Reds boss Sabri Lamouchi to include him in 12 matchday squads after the turn of the year.
In total he made ten appearances in his first season with the Reds' senior team.
And Mighten has sent a message after signing his new deal.
"Delighted to sign a new deal at the club I have been at since the age of 8," he wrote on Twitter.

"Amazing moment for myself and my family. Can't wait for the start of a huge season ahead."
The Reds' academy manager, Gary Brazil, has also weighed in with an exciting prediction.
"Alex is now developing into the elite footballer we all hoped he would become," he said. "Brave, exciting, self confident, single minded, he has all the ingredients to go a long way in the game."
"He is another quality outcome from a group of staff that continue to punch above their weight."
