On loan from Leeds, Kitching has impressed at Harrogate this season.

Leeds United have confirmed on their official Twitter account that defender Liam Kitching will remain with National League side Harrogate Town until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old joined Harrogate in the summer on loan until January, immediately after signing a new contract with the Whites which sees him on the books at Elland Road until the summer of 2021.

Kitching has been in tremendous form for Harrogate, scoring three goals and creating three more from the left side of defence for the fifth-tier side. He has also helped them keep seven clean sheets in 25 appearances.

Leeds confirmed the news that Kitching would be signing back on with Harrogate until the end of the season, as he looks to help the North Yorkshire side finish in the play-offs at least.

The Whites defender’s excellent form even saw Marcelo Bielsa travel alongside Victor Orta to watch the young defender in action back in October, during a 4-2 win over Harrogate.

Kitching is sure to have a bright future at Leeds with his performances at National League level already promising more to come from the youngster. Leeds currently boast Barry Douglas, Leif Davis and Tom Pearce at left-back.
