Chelsea fc have now come out and announced that Academy defender Jacob Hall has signed his first professional contract with the club following his 17th birthday.
CHELSEA have been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks, as there has been constant reports linking them with some big names, and then some of the most exciting young players in world football, but they have not really brought in any new faces.
However – they also have one of the best academies in the Premier League and have been working very hard over the past few weeks making sure that the talents are all signed up to new contracts, and some even getting their very first professional deals with the clubs.
Now the decision has been made to hand Defender Hall his first professional contract following his 17th birthday, the Blues posted on the club website: ‘Hall has been a Blue since joining us during his Under-9s season and has developed into a composed centre-back.
‘While still a schoolboy during his Under-16s campaign, Hall was handed his Under-18s debut, marking an important step in his progression through the Academy.
‘Since signing his scholarship in July, he has gone on to make seven more appearances across Under-18s competitions this season, alongside two appearances in the Under-17 Premier League Cup.
‘Congratulations, Jacob!’
IcFootballnews Says…
The lad is one of number of talented stars that have agreed contracts over the past few weeks, so the news that he has agreed a deal himself will be massive for the lad as he wants to try and break into that Blues first team.
He will now probably get a few loan moves in the coming seasons, in order to get some first-team experience, and honestly talking may get sold on in the future as CHELSEA have one of the biggest squads in football and dont have much space for the talents to try and make an impact.
But it is still a massive moment for the lad and he needs to enjoy this moment.
