SOUTHEND United starlet Dru Yearwood remains hungry to shine after signing a four year contract with the Shrimpers.
Yearwood - who has impressed during pre-season - has put pen to paper on his first professional contract.
But the 17-year-old will not be changing his approach to the game.
“This is the start of the hard work and it’s not changed anything regarding my aims for the season,” said Yearwood, who has been with Blues since the age of 11.
“It’s really exciting for me and it’s been a real confidence booster too but I’ve always wanted to stay in and around the first team and that’s still the main goal.
“The senior boys are great towards me and they are like older brothers now.”
