Leeds United have another player to keep a close eye on.
Leeds United teenager Dane Burlace marked himself out as a player to watch for the future with a debut for the club’s under-23 side.
At just 16, Burlace featured for the Whites in their 5-0 win over Notts County in the Premier League Cup.
Burlace is a talented right-back who signed a two-year scholarship deal with Leeds in February.
He was previously in Newcastle United’s academy and played for their under-14 side.
Now Burlace is ahead of schedule at Leeds, breaking into their impressive under-23 team.
The youngster was afforded a chance after Bryce Hosannah appeared to suffer another injury blow earlier this month.
It’s unclear whether Leeds plan a regular under-23 role for Burlace, or this this was intended as a one off.
A strong performance and clean sheet for the Whites certainly works in his favour.
He is another bright prospect who Whites fans should be encouraged about.
