Courier Sport revealed on Wednesday that Meekison (19) and fellow prospect Kieran Freeman (21) had reached agreement with the club on an extended stay.
Meekison’s new deal has now been confirmed by United – just hours after Freeman committed himself to the club for the same length of time.
After penning his agreement, Meekison told United’s official website: “I feel amazing to officially extend my stay at the club.
“The head coach has been amazing at speaking to me and telling me where he sees me in his plans. As a player it’s massively reassuring to know where you are.
“My injury at the start of the season set me back a bit but now I’m back and excited to get as many games as possible in the first team this season and build up that experience for me going forward.”
Tannadice boss Courts added: “Archie is a really talented and intelligent player with a real passion for both Dundee United and for developing himself further as a player.
“Although he has been in and out of the squad, he’s always been in my thinking in regard to what squad I select each weekend.
“I’ve got real confidence that as he matures and continues his development there will be even more opportunities for him going forward.”
