Leeds United defender has been released by the club.

Leeds fans celebrate their team's victory during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leeds United and Derby County at Elland Road on November 29, 2014 in Leeds, England.

One of the more confusing signings at Leeds United in recent seasons has been released from his contract.

The FA list Amadou Haidara on their list of players who had their contracts cancelled by mutual consent last month.

The Whites signed Haidara on deadline day in 2016 but never formally announced the deal.

But he did pen a two-year contract, and he went into their under-23 squad, where he only made sporadic appearances, mostly as a substitute.

The defender is 24-years-old and his prospects of making it into Leeds’ first team never seemed realistic.

He is pictured front centre below on his Instagram page with under-23 colleagues in this post from December.

Haidara’s next move is unclear as he still remains a free agent.

The defender is 24 but he has still not played a first team game in his career.

Having Leeds on his CV should help him find a new club, but the Frenchman will have to drop down the divisions if he is going to start proving himself.

Here is a look at how Leeds fans reacted on Twitter to his news of his exit…
