Mikey Moore has taken to social media to express his delight after signing his first professional contract with Tottenham Hotspur.
Mikey Moore signs Tottenham contract
Moore turned 17 on Sunday, which made him eligible to sign a pro contract and it did not come as a surprise when Tottenham announced earlier today that the teenager had agreed a three-year deal, the maximum length allowed for a player his age.
This was because it was an open secret over the last week that a contract had been agreed, with the announcement being put off until his 17th birthday.
However, those at Spurs, including Ange Postecoglou would be delighted that it is now official, with the winger being widely viewed as one of the best players in his age group across the country.
The Tottenham academy graduate, who made his senior debut last season, will be hoping to establish himself as a first-team regular over the next year or two.

The players who come through the academy always tend to have a much deeper love for the club, which is why fans love it when academy graduates break into the team.
It seems inevitable that Moore will establish himself in the senior side within the next couple of years.
