Jaden Heskey has become the latest Manchester City academy player to sign a professional contract with the club.
A number of youngsters are announcing their first professional deals with City this week, and striker Heskey has confirmed his new contract on Instagram alongside pictures of family and friends at his official signing.
Heskey, 17, is the son of former Liverpool and England striker Emile, who was present at the City Football Academy when Jaden signed his contract.
The striker had an inconsistent season last term with injuries, but still returned six goals in 18 appearances across under-21, under-19 and under-18 levels.
