Leeds United left-back Tyler Denton has spent this season out on loan from Elland Road with Peterborough United.

Peterborough United co-owner Darragh MacAnthony has suggested that Leeds United defender Tyler Denton will need to improve massively if he is to make the grade at Elland Road.

Posh have had Denton on loan from Leeds since the start of the season, but he not really made much of an impact at London Road.

The Leeds youngster has struggled to hold down a place in Peterborough’s starting line-up under two different managers.

And MacAnthony has suggested that Denton will have to get much better if he is to threaten Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team.

Leeds had high hopes for Denton, but there are some doubts over whether he will cut it at Elland Road now.

Denton is 23, and may well need to move away from Leeds again next season if he is to get regular game time.

Denton played second fiddle to both Colin Daniel and Daniel Lafferty during his time at Peterborough, and was generally only used as a back-up option.

In total Denton made 10 League One appearances at Peterborough, and he has now returned to Leeds.
