Williams and Pilatos handed four-year contracts

Middlesbrough have handed long-term professional contracts to teenagers Luke Williams and Bruno Pilatos. Williams, 16, and Pilatos, 17, were both promoted to the first-team set-up last season by manager Gordon Strachan. Forward Williams was handed his debut, while Pilatos was an unused substitute on three occasions. Both England youth internationals have both now landed four-year contracts. Joining Williams and Pilatos in signing on long-term deals are fellow internationals David Atkinson and Ben Gibson - the nephew of Boro chairman Steve. 17-year-old Matthew Dolan has agreed a four-year deal while Paul Weldon has signed a two-year contract. Boro also confirmed the release of Ashley Corker, James Cronesberry, Gary Martin, Derrik Bassi and Danny Hawkins.
