Coventry City star makes return after injury. Leeds had previously been lining him up for transfer.
Jodi Jones is back in action after nine months out injured.
Jones made his comeback for Coventry City’s under-23 side in a match against Burnley yesterday.
The winger got injured last November at an unfortunate moment, with Leeds scouts travelling to watch him in action, The Coventry Telegraph reported.
The Independent later claimed Leeds United were set to sign Jones.
The report stated: “Coventry would likely have got £1.5m from Leeds United for Jodi Jones this year but the deal collapsed due to a knee injury.”
Jones sent a message on Twitter after making his return.
Jones had scored five goals and provided eight assists last season for Coventry’s first team before his November knee injury.
The winger will hope to recapture his form as the season progresses.
Whether it will be enough to catch Leeds’ attention again is another matter, with all Whites’ transfers needing sign off from new manager Marcelo Bielsa.
Still only 20-years-old, time is on Jones’ side.
