Wollerton, 17, and Pearce, 19, have been progressing through Leeds Academy, joining the professional ranks after a two-year scholarship with the club. Pearce was a regular for Leeds U18, and will now set his sights to earn a place in the u23s. Every team's academy can be one of the key parts to the club's long-term success, and it's a welcome sign that Leeds are bringing in and progressing young players.
Congratulations on your new deals boys, we’ll be looking forward to seeing you in the future!
