The 17-year-old made his debut for Wolves Under-23s earlier this season and has been rewarded for his hard work and commitment during nearly a decade with the club’s academy.

Telford-born Young has represented England at both under-16 and under-17 level and recently received a call-up to the Three Lions’ under-18 squad.

Head of Wolves academy Scott Sellars said: “Joe has been here at Wolves for a very long time and joined us from the under-9s, so we know him really well and has progressed brilliantly during his time here.

“In terms of his performances and attitude, Joe’s a boy with a really strong mentality and is a player who deserves to be progressing his way through the club, and signing this professional contract.”
