Leeds United striker Ryan Edmondson’s reputation continues to grow, after an encouraging display during Paul Heckingbottom’s side friendly match against Myanmar’s All Star side.

Leeds, rather embarrassingly, lost the post-season friendly 2-1 and they put in a poor performance.

But Edmondson was one of the few players to impress with his performance on the day.

The young forward had the ball in the back of the net on one occasion, but his strike was ruled out for offside.

Despite that disappointment, Edmondson still did has cause for a first-team place next season no harm.

The 16-year-old was handed his debut in Leeds’ final home match of the season against Queens Park Rangers, with his physicality catching the eye.

And Leeds fans are now calling for Heckingbottom to use Edmondson more regular in the senior squad.

Edmondson could join a long list of promising prospects to break through at Leeds in recent times, and would join academy graduates Kalvin Phillips and Ronaldo Vieira in the first-team.
