Leeds United youngster Lewie Coyle has spent the last two seasons on loan with the League One side.
Fleetwood Town fans have joined the club and assistant boss Clint Hill in sending messages to Lewie Coyle after the Leeds youngster completed his second loan spell with the League One side.
Coyle returns to Elland Road having made nearly 100 appearances for Fleetwood across two spells. He has been an outstanding signing, winning numerous awards during his time at Highbury Stadium.
He faces an incredibly difficult task trying to force his way into Marcelo Bielsa’s plans when he returns to Thorp Arch, particularly if the Whites are a Premier League club by the time he is available to play for them again.
Luke Ayling has rediscovered his best form in recent times, and Bielsa has the likes of Gaetano Berardi, Stuart Dallas and Jamie Shackleton also available to him. The 23-year-old also offers versatility, but it appears, as things stand, that he is not going to get the first-team football that he is looking for by staying at Leeds.
Coyle is too good to write off however, and it may only take one piece of luck that leaves the academy graduate with the chance to prove himself. So it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the youngster.
Judging by the reaction from Fleetwood assistant boss Hill and some of the fans on social media, it would appear that they would love to have a chance to bring Coyle back once again this summer.
The club sent out a tweet to pay tribute to the full-back, and there were plenty of supporters who expressed a desire to see Coyle stay or prove to be a success at Elland Road following his return.
Here is the club’s tweet as well as some of the responses…
