The 16-year-old is rewarded for an impressive start to life as a scholar.

The Middlesbrough-born youngster, who hails from the Ayresome area, has scored twice in 11 Under-18 Premier League appearances and has recently stepped up to the Under-23s where he has scored once in three appearances.

Law has been with the club's Academy since the age of nine.
