Norwich City Academy defender Waylon Renecke says the hard work continues for him, after he signed his first professional contract with the club.
"I feel very good \[about signing\]," he told canaries.co.uk.
"It's a big moment for me in my career. I've made my family proud, so I'm very happy to sign the contract at Norwich.
"Hopefully, I can get many more and the hard work continues. It's an honour to play and represent the club. The faith they've put in me, I can't thank them enough."
The defender represented South Africa at this summer's Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations and is hoping to take the confidence gained there into his next steps with the Canaries.
"I'm a centre-back, I'd like to say I'm composed on the ball. I love playing passes, and enjoy reading the play," he added.
"It was an honour to play for the country, my family are from there and to have them supporting me was a great feeling.
"The upcoming season is a big one for me. Hopefully I can push for the Under-21s, establish myself into the squad and move forward."
