Academy graduate
Ravenhill has risen up through the youth ranks at Doncaster and trained with their first-team on a regular basis last season.
He then made his senior debut for the Yorkshire side in an FA Cup tie against FC United in November last year.
The teenager is the son of former Donny, Bradford City and Northampton Town midfielder Ricky Ravenhill.
He was linked with a move to the Championship in the January transfer window, as reported by the Daily Mail, but stayed at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Loan move beckons?
Darlington play their football in the National League North and have a decision to make as to whether they want Ravenhill on loan.
A move to the Quakers would give Ravenhill a chance to get some first-team experience under his belt.
Darlo have a few ex-Football League players in their squad such as Louis Laing, Will Hatfield, George Smith and Jarrett Rivers.
