Patrick Bamford’s girlfriend, Michaela Ireland, paid tribute to the Leeds striker on her personal Instagram account after they earned promotion to the Premier League.
It has probably been two of the most challenging and demanding seasons in Bamford’s professional career. From cries of ‘he’s not good enough to help Leeds earn promotion’ to his manager, Marcelo Bielsa, sticking by him through thick and thin
In the end, the rewards are there for all to see and Bamford, along with Leeds, are deserved champions of England’s second-tier and will compete with the elite next season.
There’s no doubt that Bamford has proved many, many people wrong, but those close to him have stuck by him, and here is Bamford’s girlfriend, Michaela, sharing her message.
It’s time for celebrations for those in Yorkshire and making preparations for the big time because it will be an emotional return for the club.
It has been 16 long years for those associated with the Yorkshire giants, and now the world is at Leeds’ feet in regards to what can happen next season.
Bamford will be hoping to showcase his worth in the Premier League now, and if he does, then an England call-up won’t be far around the corner.
