Leeds United winger Jordan Stevens has signed a new contract with the club until the summer of 2022.
The 19-year-old has been a regular for Carlos Corberan’s u23 side and made his debut for Marcelo Bielsa’s first team away at Stoke City last season.

“Last year with the Under-23s was great, we were a really close group and to win the league was a massive achievement.
“It was great to make my debut against Stoke, I was nervous warming up when you see how many fans are there supporting us, but you have to stay focused on the game and that’s what I tried to do.
“Being around the match day squad is improving me as a player and I’m learning from the senior pros, hopefully I can kick on now and see what the future brings.”
