Manchester City youngster Jayden Braaf has revealed he's penned new terms.

Braaf, who turns 17 on Saturday, signed to City's academy last season on his sixteenth birthday, snubbing interest from Chelsea.

This season, Braaf has been permanently promoted to the U23 squad, scoring three times in as many games in a new-look attack alongside Nabil Touaizi and new signing Morgan Rogers.

Now, the Dutch U17 international has confirmed his new contract at City on his Instagram page, posting an image of himself signing the deal with the caption "2023" to indicate how long he will remain at City.

Under FA rules, players are allowed to sign professional terms when they turn 17, and Braaf will now battle fellow academy forwards Adria Bernabe, Ian Carlo Poveda and Felix Nmecha to hold down his spot for the U23s.
