Former West Ham United midfielder Jack Collison has taken to social networking site Twitter to share his appreciation of Leeds United head coach Garry Monk.

Collison, who is 28 years of age and had to retire from playing professional football in 2016 due to injuries, met with Monk on Sunday morning.

The former Peterborough United midfielder has shared his appreciation of the ex-Swansea City manager on Twitter and has highlighted his attention to detail.

West Ham's Jack Collison goes off after sustaining an injury

Monk was appointed the Leeds head coach in the summer of 2016 following the departure of Steve Evans at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

The Englishman has done a remarkable job at Elland Road so far, with the Whites genuine playoff contenders this season.

The West Yorkshire outfit are third in the Championship table at the moment with 48 points from 26 matches.

Perhaps if Leeds are able to make a couple of signings in the January transfer window, then they could even push Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion for a top-two finish.

The Whites won 1-0 against fellow promotion hopefuls Derby County 1-0 at Elland Road in the Championship on Friday evening.
