Gloucester scrum-half Callum Braley has signed a new deal with the club for the 2017-18 season.
The 22-year-old joins team-mates Billy Burns and Henry Purdy in agreeing new terms with the Cherry and Whites having been at the club since 2014.
Braley, a former England U20 international, has made 33 senior appearances and will be in the match-day squad for the European Rugby Challenge cup tie against La Rochelle, live on Sky Sports 1, on Thursday night.
"I'm very excited to be staying at the club, I owe it a lot for helping me to progress my career and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds here at Gloucester," he told the club's website.
"I want to be involved, week in and week out, getting as much game time as I can so I can further my career and become a better player for the club. Hopefully I can do that over the next couple of years and help achieve success for Gloucester Rugby."
Director of Rugby David Humphreys said the club were delighted to secure Braley's future and wants him to continue to learn from the likes of Greig Laidlaw and Willi Heinz.
"We're very happy that Callum is extending his stay at the club as he's a very exciting player and forms part of what we feel can be a core of young English talent who can take this club forward," he said.
"He's been patient, but he's also ambitious. He's learned a lot from working with the likes of Greig and Willi, but he's now starting to turn his potential into quality match day performances.
"We're confident that he'll continue his progression and really push hard for a starting spot and are delighted he sees his future as part of what we're trying to achieve here at Gloucester Rugby."
