Teenage Plymouth Argyle midfielder Caleb Roberts has signed a new three-year deal at Home Park.
Roberts, 19, is now tied to the relegation-threatened Championship club until the summer of 2028.
“I’m buzzing to get the deal done. It gives me time to learn a lot more,” he said.
“Since I’ve been training with the first team for a couple years now, I feel like I’m improving a lot. Playing against the better teams in the division and against the best players is a good experience.”
Roberts, who made his debut in 2021, nine days after his 16th birthday, has now made 14 first-team appearances, including two starts this season – in front of 36,000 at Elland Road against Leeds United and the 1-0 FA Cup third-round win at Brentford – but he is aiming for more.
His ambition next season is to “break into the first team, break into the starting XI”.
He added: “I want to be in and around it and pick up as many appearances as possible.”
Argyle began the Easter weekend sitting bottom of the Championship table, four points adrift of safety, with four games left.
