Matty Gillam has signed a two-year deal with Rochdale.
Gillam, an Academy graduate, signed his first professional contract last summer, and has continued to impress during his first season as a pro.The 19-year-old's contract was due to expire this summer.
The teenager featured twelve times for Dale during the 2017/18 campaign and scored his first league goal for the club on his first league start, away at Charlton Athletic in November.
Gillam commented: “I’m really happy to have been offered a new contract at the club and I’m pleased to have signed on for another two years. It’s a good feeling knowing I’ve made enough of an impact to get myself another deal.
“I’ve got to remember everything I’ve learned and all the experiences I’ve had this year and take it into next season.
"Scoring on my full league debut against Charlton was a really good moment for me, as was contributing as a substitute towards the end of the season. It all counts and it all adds up.”
