And after being named on the bench for the comfortable win over Young Boys - he has now penned a new long term contract.

Academy Manager Mark Harrison said: "We are delighted Kadan has signed a new long-term contract.

"Over the past couple of seasons, he has trained regularly with the first team and has also been involved in matchday squads. This is a well-deserved recognition for his development, which the first team have endorsed and supported.

"We will look forward to seeing Kadan develop over the coming seasons and hopefully develop into a first-team player for many years to come."
