Josh Walker has signed a new contract at Middlesbrough Football Club.

The 20-year-old has made a breakthrough to the first team this season, and is rated as a real prospect by manager Gareth Southgate.

The midfielder has now been rewarded with his progress in the shape of a two-year contract, with his existing deal set to expire in the summer.

Walker becomes the latest Boro youngster to commit his future to the club, following the likes of Brad Jones, Rhys Williams and Seb Hines.
