Jack Clarke scored twice for Leeds’ under-23 side on Monday to earn his team a 2-1 victory over Cardiff.

Carlos Corberan’s side are currently unbeaten over the first month of the season.

Clarke was one of the most impressive performances for Leeds United in pre-season, outshining many of their first teamers.

The young winger is just 17-years-old and is tipped for a big future.

Leeds legend Ian Harte praised his latest performance.

Clarke was surprisingly not involved in Leeds’ recent Carabao Cup fixtures, with the Whites refusing to rush the teenager into action.

If he keeps on progressing well for the under-23s, he may become impossible for Marcelo Bielsa to ignore, especially as he has already seen what he can do in pre-season.

Youngster Jamie Shackleton has already made the step up to regular involvement with the first team squad and Clarke will see that as an inspiration.
