The young Leeds United players have signed up until 2022.

Leeds fans show their support prior to the Sky Bet Championship Play-off semi final second leg match between Leeds United and Derby County at Elland Road on May 15, 2019 in Leeds, England.

Leeds United supporters are reacting on Twitter after the club announced deals for five of its young players.

Leeds Under-23s regulars Bryce Hosannah, Pascal Struijk and Kun Temenuzhkov are among those who have committed their long-term futures to Elland Road, along with newbies at that level, Charlie Cresswell and Stuart McKinstry.

McKinstry only arrived in West Yorkshire from Motherwell in the summer transfer window and made his U23s debut as recently as a fortnight ago.

But after turning 17 earlier this week, the winger could finally sign professional forms and did so alongside Cresswell, the former Leeds U18s captain and son of the ex-Whites and York City striker, Richard.

And it is the announcement of those two deals, in particular that of McKinstry, which appears to have generated the most excitement online.

This is what the following Leeds fans have had to say about the news…

McKinstry’s agency, Base Soccer, hinted on social media this week that their client was about to sign a new deal at Leeds.
