Harry Gray has enjoyed a brilliant new breakthrough with a thriving winger shining once more in a fresh Leeds United under-18s rise. Rob Etherington’s young Whites are heading for the FA Youth Cup final later this month in which they will face Manchester City but the Leeds 18s are also enjoying a stellar run in the league. Fresh from four consecutive victories, United’s under-18s took on Derby County’s under-18s at Thorp Arch on Wednesday and romped to a 5-0 victory in which Archie Gray’s...
United’s under-18s visited Blackburn Rovers under-18s on Saturday afternoon in the under-18s Premier League North and fought back from 2-0 down to leave with a 4-2 victory in which Devon Brockie notched a brace. Leeds were 2-0 down inside 39 minutes after Joe Boggan netted twice for the hosts but Brockie pulled a goal back for the young Whites two minutes before the interval. Brockie’s second goal of the game then drew United level just seven minutes later, arriving from the first of two Josh...
The Tractor Boys have been without the duo for several weeks but on the eve of their final three games, McKenna says they may be available once more. Hirst has missed all of Ipswich's football in 2024 after suffering a significant hamstring injury on Boxing Day, while Burns sustained a similar but less severe hamstring injury last month, missing the team's run-in so far. Both attackers have contributed materially to the way in which Ipswich play under McKenna and played a role in the club's...
Shea Lacey is one the most exciting talents in Man Utd's academy and he's signed his first professional contract with the club.
Twenty-year-old attacking midfielder Joe Snowdon struck twice in four minutes in Monday’s league hosting of Derby’s under-21s, his rapid double-salvo providing the platform for a 3-0 victory for Scott Gardner’s young side. Snowdon also netted in the 5-3 defeat at home to Fulham’s under-21s in the middle of last month, Monday’s double taking his recent tally to three goals in his last three games. Speaking to LUTV, the thriving youngster gave a glowing verdict on how much he is enjoying playing...
Here is what our YEP Jury had to say on Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to John Eustace’s side including a Whites problem, Championship fear and re-emerging new rivals warning. NEIL GREWER Another disappointing day at the office for Leeds. The second goalless game in a week against a side which, like Sunderland in the previous game, mastered the art of cramming bodies in their own penalty box and dealing with all Leeds could offer. Leeds offered more than last Tuesday but, ultimately, were caught out by a...
Summerville, who was also named in the division’s Team of the Season at the 2024 EFL Awards in London, beat his fellow shortlist nominees Sammie Szmodics and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Blackburn man Szmodics was the match winner at Elland Road on Saturday with his 24th league goal of the season, while Dewsbury-Hall has been influential throughout the campaign for title hopefuls Leicester City. Leeds winger Summerville has scored 17 times in league action and contributed a further eight assists,...
Nineteen-year-old Whites forward Luca Thomas helped himself to a brace in Friday night’s Premier League Two clash at Newcastle United’s under-21s to see Scott Gardner’s side to a 2-0 success and second win in five days. United’s under-21s approached last Monday’s league hosting of Derby County’s youngsters sat bottom of the table but with games in hand and the quick six-points return has taken Leeds five places up the table with two games to go. The Whites youngsters will make a quick return to...
Leeds United take on QPR this evening in a clash that can only be deemed a must win for the Whites. A result in west London will take Daniel Farke's side four points clear of third placed Ipswich Town, for 24 hours at the very least, and that would certainly pile the pressure on the Tractor Boys. A draw or a loss and Leeds will have left the door open for Ipswich, who have a game in hand, to knock them out of the top two altogether heading into the final week of the season. It's as simple as...
Leeds United could be without Patrick Bamford for the visit to Queens Park Rangers on Friday night as the promotion race nears the finish line. Bamford is one of Daniel Farke's big doubts for the penultimate fixture of the Championship season after taking a knock on Monday at Middlesbrough. Leeds lost James to a costal cartilage injury and an oblique abdominal muscle tear in a challenge late on during the 4-3 win over Middlesbrough at the Riverside. The winger managed to finish the game but...
After conceding the first goal of the game to Le Havre, Paris Saint-Germain
Leeds United have the opportunity to pile the pressure on their promotion rivals when they go to QPR this Friday night. A win for the Whites would see them move four points clear of third placed Ipswich Town in the Championship table with the Tractor Boys returning from a week off on Saturday night when they take on Hull City. Leeds will be entirely focused on what they can control but in order to ensure they enter the final week of the regular season with their promotion fate in their own...
