Oldham Athletic teenager Lewis Alessandra has committed his long-term future to the club by penning a new three-year deal with the Latics.

The 19-year-old was handed a one-year professional deal last summer and has impressed recently - starting ten League One matches in February and March.

"We think Lewis has a bright future in the game", chief executive Alan Hardy told the club's official website. "We saw that when he had a run of ten consecutive starts this season.

"He knows that as a striker he needs to score more goals and I'm sure that his game will continue to improve and the goals will start to flow."
