Fulham journalist Peter Rutzler has been left excited by some 'brilliant' player news as youngster Luke Harris signs his first professional contract.

The Lowdown: Big week...

The 17-year-old has been shining at academy level for Fulham in recent seasons, scoring 13 goals and assisting one other in 18 Premier League 2 matches last season.

Harris has continued in that vain over 2022/2023 so far with four goals in just two Under-21 matches this season, prompting Marco Silva's side to give him his just reward.

Indeed, the Welshman has now put pen to paper on his first professional contract at Craven Cottage running until 2025, which perhaps demonstrates Fulham's real faith in the midfielder.

The Latest: Rutzler thrilled...

Harris also earned his first ever call up to the Wales national team recently with journalist Rutzler of The Athletic hailing a 'big week' for the starlet.

The reporter, branding his confirmed first pro deal and Wales nod as 'encouraging' for Fulham, also claims this is 'brilliant news' as he expresses excitement on social media.

The Verdict: Future star?

His impressive goal tally and performances for the Fulham Under-21s have certainly turned enough heads to warrant a senior international call up, potentially making supporters wonder if they have a future star on their hands.

The teenage talent has also appeared for Fulham's first team in the EFL Cup, making his senior debut against Crawley Town in the Carabao last month.

Still very young, Harris may well be one to watch over the next few seasons with both Wales and the Cottagers handing him his chances already.
