Hide AdArchie, a former pupil of St John Fisher Catholic High School, featured in three matches during the tournament, including in the group stages and the semi‑final.
His contributions earned the 19-year-old a well‑deserved medal, adding another honour to an already illustrious season.
This latest accolade comes after his success with Tottenham Hotspur in May, when he came on as a 90th-minute substitute in their 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final.
The win saw Archie become the youngest Englishman to end on the winning side in a European final since an 18-year-old Gary Mills in the 1980 European Cup final.
Archie is the grandson of Scottish manager and former player Frank Gray and grand-nephew of Leeds United club legend Eddie Gray.
