Leeds striker was on the scoresheet in opening friendly.

Leeds United striker Lee Erwin appears to have one final chance to justify the club spending money on him two summers ago.

Erwin is yet to score a competitive goal for the club, and has spent most of his time out on various loan spells.

He is back with the Whites for pre-season, and came off the bench to score against Harrogate Town in a 4-2 friendly win yesterday.

It was the first time Leeds fans had seen Erwin for a little while, and one supporter joked on Twitter that he might have been enjoying his summer a bit too much – suggesting he was out of shape.

Erwin noticed this, and responded in a tongue in cheek manner.

Erwin should be commended for taking it in good humour, and it might just have been an unfortunate photo.

If he does have some improving to do on his physique, then pre-season is the perfect opportunity for him to get into the shape of his life.

He will need to if he is to force his way into Leeds United’s starting line up.
