Teen star Jake Forster-Caskey has signed a new three-year contract with Albion.
The new deal takes the midfielder through to the summer of 2015.
Forster-Caskey has been a big hit with fans since emerging from the youth set-up and scored in two successive games in January.
He has had to remain patient for regular first-team chances but said: “ I’ve set myself goals and I’ve reached them, so it’s the only club I want to be a part of.
“The development squad set-up has helped me, we pass the ball and there are some really good players in there. Now I have set my sights on pushing for more first-team football this season.”
Boss Gus Poyet added: “I’m delighted. It’s important for us to keep him at the club and to make sure that he finishes his development with us.”
