After impressing in the Chelsea Academy, Derry made his senior debut in our FA Cup fourth-round tie against Hull City, and followed that up with his first start in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest towards the end of last season.

‘It’s a dream come true to commit my future to such a big club like Chelsea,’ Derry said after signing his deal. ‘I’m just so excited for what’s to come.

‘This last 12 months, I feel like a completely different player than when I first joined and that’s credit to all the coaches I’ve worked with. They've played such a big part in helping me get better.

‘Just having that little snippet of playing for the first team last season, I couldn't have thought of anywhere else I'd want to be for my future. It was a no-brainer.’

Congratulations, Jesse!
