Wollerton only returned to Leeds United earlier this month after a spell out on loan.
A young Leeds United player appears to be on trial with the Whites’ Yorkshire rivals, Hull City.
Alex Wollerton was named in the Hull Under-23s’ starting line-up to play Barnsley on Friday afternoon, although no official explanation has been given for the winger’s presence.
The Leeds academy product recently returned to Thorp Arch following loan spells at Darlington and North Ferriby United, however, an Elland Road breakthrough does not appear to be imminent.
And with his contract set to expire at the end of this season, it would be little surprise to learn that Wollerton is trying to earn a deal elsewhere.
According to Barnsley’s official website, Wollerton played the full 90 minutes of Hull’s 1-0 defeat against his hometown team, which was settled by Jordan Barnett’s free-kick.
Wollerton, who turns 20 this year, has yet to feature for Leeds’ first-team.
Would the Leeds youngster make a useful Hull addition?
