Jeffrey Bruma has signed a new contract that ensures his future is at Chelsea until at least 2014.
The 18-year-old, who has been with the club since 2007, became a professional last summer and has since made his Chelsea first team and Dutch full national team debuts. He was also a major player in the youth team’s FA Youth Cup triumph last season.
He has made four substitute appearances for the first team, including one in the Community Shield last month but has since undergone surgery on a hernia.
Speaking to the Official Chelsea Website today having put his signature to the new deal, Bruma was pleased his progress has been recognised.
‘I am very happy to stay here,’ he said. ‘I have been working to improve all the time I have been here and a next step is getting your next contract, and now it is time to improve again.

Premier League leaders Chelsea kept up their 100% start to the season with an efficient display against dogged Stoke.
Frank Lampard had an early penalty saved by Thomas Sorensen before Florent Malouda fired in the opener after latching on to John Terry’s fine pass.
The visitors were unlucky not to equalise when Glenn Whelan thumped a 30-yard effort against the crossbar.
But Didier Drogba wrapped up the win with the champions’ second spot-kick after Sorensen tripped Nicolas Anelka.
The Potters provided a far sterner test than West Brom and Wigan - Chelsea’s previous two opponents in a free-scoring start to the season - but they were unable to stop Carlo Ancelotti’s side chalking up an eighth straight home league win.

Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou both scored twice as Chelsea thrashed Wigan.
Florent Malouda gave Chelsea the lead when he tapped in after Frank Lampard’s deft flick was saved by Chris Kirkland.
Anelka added a second shortly after the break when he fired in from inside the area and then nodded in his second before Kalou slotted in his first.
Provider Didier Drogba then crossed for Kalou to head in his second and Yossi Benayoun rounded off the scoring when he converted Paulo Ferreira’s cross.
Although the scoreline was emphatic, for the first half-an-hour Wigan’s simple gameplan of beating Chelsea to the first ball had frustrated the visitors.
Had they possessed Chelsea’s confidence in attack then nobody would have begrudged them of taking the early lead.

Didier Drogba scored a hat-trick as Chelsea signalled their intent to defend their Premier League title by thrashing newly-promoted West Brom.
Florent Malouda struck early on from six yards before Drogba scored with a free-kick on the stroke of half-time.
Drogba later pounced after a goal-line clearance and scored with a deflected strike from the edge of the area.
Frank Lampard finished an attractive move, while Malouda struck from close range on the stroke of full-time.
Chelsea, who ended last season with an 8-0 thrashing of Wigan, have now won the opening day for the last nine seasons.
And they move instantly to the top of the table after the biggest opening day victory in the history of the Premier League.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti saw his champions play with a confidence, skill and composure that seemingly enabled them to slice open their opponents at will.
It was a chastening afternoon for West Brom and their manager Roberto di Matteo, a former Chelsea player who received a generous reception from the Stamford Bridge crowd.
