Leeds United are reportedly about to allow Lewie Coyle to stay out on loan for the rest of the campaign.

A number of Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to comment on reports emerging from the Yorkshire Evening Post which have suggested that the Whites are ready to allow Lewie Coyle to stay out on loan for the rest of the campaign.

Coyle spent last season on loan with Fleetwood Town, and it probably surprised some supporters when the club decided to let him join the Cod Army again this summer, with the right-back initially returning until January.

But the Yorkshire Evening Post is now reporting that Leeds plan to allow Coyle to stay as part of Joey Barton’s side for the rest of the season.

It is probably not a huge surprise that Marcelo Bielsa has seemingly decided to not bring the 23-year-old back to Elland Road this month. Luke Ayling is now back fit, and Jamie Shackleton has stepped up whenever called upon despite beginning the season being classed as a midfielder and still awaiting his first-team debut.

And with Stuart Dallas and Gaetano Berardi set to return in the coming weeks, it appears that Leeds are well stocked in Coyle’s position. Nevertheless, plenty of supporters appear to be disappointed by the reports.

Many feel that he has the ability to contribute to the Whites’ promotion push, and they are starting to fear that his time with the club could be heading towards a conclusion – especially if Leeds do manage to get promoted at the end of the season.
