Leeds United sent Oriol Rey out on loan.
Leeds United youngster Oriol Rey made his first start out on loan this weekend, a month after leaving Elland Road for the season.
Rey is on loan at Spanish third tier side UB Conquense.
At the weekend he made his first start in a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Baleares.
Rey was starting the game at centre-back and played for all 90 minutes of the fixture.
Prior to the weekend, Rey had made three appearances as a substitute for Conquense, in which he played in midfield.
One of these came a week earlier in a 3-0 loss to Barcelona B.
Rey left Barcelona’s academy in the summer of 2017 to try his luck at Leeds United.
He was arguably Leeds’ standout player in the second half of last season at under-23 level, and was tipped to make the first team.
In pre-season he didn’t do enough to convinced Marcelo Bielsa he should stay around, and is gaining valuable competitive first team experience.
Despite the defeat, Rey will hope he did enough to hold down a regular starting spot.
