Karl Hein has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The Estonian national goalkeeper joined us from FC Nomme United last year on a scholarship contract - and has since kicked on under the guidance of Ken Gillard.

The 17-year-old goalkeeper has made five appearances in the U-18 Premier League this season, in addition to keeping a clean sheet on his FA Youth Cup debut against Northampton Town.

Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Karl on his new contract - and we look forward to his continued development.

This deal is subject to completion of regulatory processes.
