Teenage striker Chris Wood has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract with West Bromwich Albion.

The 18-year-old New Zealand international has signed a new three-and-a-half year contract just six months after penning his first professional deal with the Baggies.

"I'm really happy to have been given a new contract. The club said they would reward me if I performed and they have kept their word," he told Albion's official website.

"The length of contract gives me real stability at the club.

"It also makes me want to work even harder to succeed here and help the club progress."

Wood has made 18 appearances in all competitions this term but has scored only one goal.
