Former Leeds United player impressed with current prospect.
Fleetwood Town boss John Sheridan does not hold out any hope of managing to sign Leeds United loanee Lewie Coyle permanently.
Coyle has been impressing on loan at the League One side this season and Sheridan had kind words to say about the 22-year-old at yesterday’s press conference.
Sheridan praised Coyle’s attitude and said he fully expects him to return to Leeds.
It has been a hugely beneficial season for Coyle who has racked up 46 appearances already this season for Fleetwood, including 40 in League One.
He is playing under his second manager of the season after ex-Leeds boss Uwe Rosler was fired earlier this year. Fleetwood are in 15th place in the division.
Coyle will return to Leeds a better and wiser player, and will stand a fighting chance of featuring for their first team next season.
It will not be easy with Luke Ayling established as first choice, but the former Bristol City man’s recent injury has highlighted badly that Leeds need a credible alternative.
