Patrick Bamford continues to roll with the punches in a Leeds United shirt.
Jack Harrison is a fan of Leeds United team-mate Patrick Bamford and, more specifically, his ability to roll with the punches.
Bamford enhanced his perception among United fans on Saturday by scoring twice in a 2-0 win at Wigan.
In doing so, the 25-year-old Leeds hitman – a £7 million addition last summer [The Daily Mail] – now has three goals in as many Championship games.
He’s been bang in form for the Whites, which is a bit of a surprise given that he had a rotten pre-season, missing a host of gilt-edged chances in friendlies during the summer.
And Harrison, who earns £51,000 per week with parent club Man City [Spotrac], says that his stoicism is perhaps his best quality. He told Leeds Live: “He’s not really a striker that lets things get to him, I always admire that about him.
“He just carries on in the game no matter what happens. I think he can only continue scoring from here. You see his potential and his goalscoring ability, so hopefully, he gets a few more for us this season.”
Bamford’s reputation took a massive knock at the end of last season. Not only did the goals dry up at a time when Leeds needed him to score to increase the chance of automatic promotion, but he received a two-match ban for his theatrics in a fiery game against Aston Villa.
It wasn’t the former Middlesbrough star’s finest moment, but he’s been making headlines for the right reasons so far this season and long may it continue.
