Young goalkeeper appears for Leeds United again.
Joshua Rae’s confusing summer continues at Leeds United.
Rae starred for Leeds’ under-23s last season, stepping up in a cup game to become penalty shootout hero.
Despite this, the former Celtic trainee was released at the end of his contract in June.
He has had trials with Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town over the past few weeks. He has also been back at Leeds.
Rae travelled with Leeds to sit on the first team bench against Cagliari at the weekend, but with no announcement of a deal.
Yesterday he continued for Leeds, starting in goal for the under-18 team in a friendly with Chelsea.
Leeds lost the game 4-0, away to arguably the best youth side in England, with Chelsea regular winners of the FA Youth Cup.
Rae’s status is unclear, but it takes on new light amid reports Bailey Peacock-Farrell is set to be sold to Burnley for £3.5 million, the Yorkshire Evening Post report.
It was Peacock-Farrell’s absence which prompted Rae to be involved at the weekend.
It makes sense for Leeds to keep him, and at least offer him a one year deal. It certainly looks to be heading in that direction.
