Kamil Miazek has signed a one-year extension with Leeds United.
Leeds United confirmed on Saturday [official website] that they had signed Kamil Miazek up to a new contract.
The 22-year-old was out of contract at Thorp Arch this summer, but the Whites have handed him a one-year extension.
And it’s a smart move by Leeds, based on what we saw from him earlier this month.
The Polish goalkeeper was the hero as United’s Under-23 side won the Professional Development League title on penalties by beating Birmingham City.
Miazek made a string of fine saves in the 120 minutes, but only saved two of Birmingham’s penalties.
If there was doubt about his ability, the young stopper vanquished them on that occasion.
Had Leeds let him leave on a Bosman, there is every chance that he would’ve joined another club and fashioned a very good career for himself elsewhere, leaving the Whites a bit red-faced in that regard.
But keeping him for at least another year gives him the chance to make further strides.
