Leeds United have announced that Jack Harrison has signed a new long-term contract at Elland Road.
The 26-year-old has penned a five-year deal that runs until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Harrison joined Leeds back in 2018, initially on loan from Manchester City.
He spent three seasons at Elland Road before the Whites signed him permanently in 2021.
Harrison has made 197 appearances for Leeds, registering 33 goals and 31 assists in all competitions.
This season, the former England Under-21 international has five goals and nine assists from 31 outings.
Harrison reportedly came close to joining Leicester City in January, but the move collapsed before the deadline.
‘He has an unbelievable attitude’
The winger has gone from strength to strength playing under new Leeds boss Javi Gracia.
Harrison’s reward is a long-term contract at Elland Road, with director of football Victor Orta singing his praises.
“Jack is a crucial part of our squad and our plans going forwards,” Orta told the Leeds website.
“And I’m really happy he has agreed to commit his long-term future to the club.
“He is one of the most professional players I have come across in my career.
“He has an unbelievable attitude and only wants to continue improving.
“And I know we will see him at his peak over the duration of the next five years.”
Harrison took to social media to express his pride and delight at extending his Leeds contract.
Plenty of peers, including Kalvin Phillips and Junior Firpo, congratulated the winger.
Amazing how fine the margins are in football.
Had things gone slightly differently, Harrison could well be playing in the blue of Leicester right now.
Leeds fans won’t mind one bit, mind.
Harrison has kicked on and now his long-term future is with the Elland Road outfit.
