Gardner-Hickman made his senior debut against Arsenal in the EFL Cup earlier this season and has gone on to make five Championship appearances.
The wing-back, who was named Man of the Match against Coventry, has played in three different positions in four second-tier starts.
His previous contract at The Hawthorns was set to expire in 18 months time, with manager Valerien Ismael delighted at securing Gardner-Hickman’s services until 2026.
Baggies fans react
He turned 20 on Thursday, with the Baggies revealing the news on their official Twitter page.
This is what these West Brom fans had to say in reply to the contract news, with many going wild at the update and one labelling it as ‘massive’.
