EIGHT Millwall youngsters have penned new contracts as the club moved to secure their future stars.
Academy prospects including Tom Leahy, Kyle Smith and Kamarl Grant – who all appeared in the first-team’s opening pre-season game at Gillingham – have all agreed new terms.
Chin Okoli and Sha’mar Lawson are the other under-21 players who signed new deals while, in the U18s, Alfie Massey, Frankie Baker and Jack Howland have also committed their future to the club by signing their first professional contracts.
The trio are all stepping up into the under-21s following the under-18s’ success last season, reaching the FA Youth Cup semi-final and winning the Professional Development League Cup.
Meanwhile, Kevin Nugent’s under-21s won back-to-back Professional Development League titles but fell short in the play-offs in May.
