"It's a great feeling because I've been here for nearly three years now," the 17-year-old said.

"I just want to do my best in pre-season and get myself physically alongside all the other boys, because that's an area I obviously need to improve on.

"I'm only 17 so I really need to push on and make myself better, so that it hopefully shows on the pitch."

Roache was part of the club's double-winning youth team last season and scored 30 goals in 31 matches for the side.
