Leeds United have loaned out Malik Wilks, with the youngster impressing away from Elland Road.

Doncaster Rovers boss Grant McCann has hailed Leeds United striker Malik Wilks after his latest performance in the Doncaster Free Press.

Wilks just penned a new contract at Leeds, which means that his loan at Doncaster is set to be extended.

And the Leeds youngster celebrated penning his new deal at Elland Road in style yesterday, as he put in a wonderful display.

Doncaster won 5-0 against Rochdale, with Wilks playing a starring role in the contest.

Wilks may not have scored, but he proved to be a constant menance, and McCann was full of praise for the Leeds prospect after the match.

The Rovers boss said: “That was probably his best performance in a Doncaster shirt.

“He was unplayable at times. I think he got nearly every Rochdale player booked in a strange ten minute period where he was running past them and there was a booking.”

Wilks has enjoyed his time at Doncaster since signing from Leeds in the summer, as he has been picked regularly.

The rapid forward has now played 25 times in League One for Doncaster, scoring seven times and claiming four assists.
