Millwall has signed Romain Esse to a new deal.
The previous contract for the 19-year-old South Londoner was set to expire at the end of June.
In an effort to sign Esse to new terms, Millwall was unwavering, and the England U19 international has now signed a contract. The duration of such terms has not been disclosed by the Lions.
Since his goal sealed the EFL Cup victory at Portsmouth earlier this month, Esse has been a mainstay in the starting lineup. The striker scored in the 4-3 loss at Bristol City as well.
To reach 50 in a Millwall shirt, the teenager needs to make five more appearances.
According to Millwall’s director of football Steve Gallen, “the club is very big business” in signing Romain to a multi-year contract. The statement illustrates our goals.
“Romain is a representative of all the young players at the football club, having graduated from the academy. Everyone can look forward to him and feel that they can advance through the ranks, even those in the U9s and U21s.
“I am very happy that he has decided to stay with us. I want to express my gratitude to Neil Harris and James Berylson for their unwavering support.
