Fred Onyedinma is 'delighted' to have signed a new long-term Millwall contract as the club embark on their first season in the Championship since 2014/15.

The 20-year academy graduate had been the centre of much transfer speculation this summer, and Lions fans will be happy to see Onyedinma's future at The Den secured until 2020.

The exciting prospect, who spent some time on loan at Wycombe earlier in his career, played 42 times in last season's League One promotion campaign, scoring three goals and getting six assists.

"I love playing for this club and am delighted to have signed a new deal here." Onyedinma told the club site.

"The manager has always been great with me, right back to when he gave me my debut against Southend, and I'm looking forward to improving under him further in the coming years.

"Now my focus is on continuing to work hard during pre-season so I can play as big a role as possible in the Championship for Millwall."

Manager Neil Harris was also pleased to tie-down a talent that he has nurtured in past seasons.

"Naturally I'm very pleased to have concluded this deal," Harris added.

"It's no secret that it has taken time, which for various reasons these things can do. At this time of year, in June and July, people are away on their holidays so tying up deals can take time.

"I've always been relaxed about it because Fred has reiterated throughout how happy he is at Millwall and how keen he is to stay.

"He is a boy with huge potential. Fred has improved immensely over the last 12 months and has a bright future in football. It's important to remember he is still only 20.

"This is another piece of the jigsaw complete as we prepare for the new season."
