Leeds United new boy Niklas Haugland
Leeds United swooped to sign teenager Niklas Haugland in late August after a successful trial.
This weekend he scored his first goal for the club, netting a vital equaliser for the under-18s.
Haugland helped the academy side secure a draw after Leeds had gone 1-0 down to Birmingham.
The 16-year-old impressed Leeds on trial in the summer and earned a contract until 2020.
The teenager is a Norway youth international who joined from Fana IL in his homeland.
What are his Leeds chances like?
It will probably be a couple of seasons before Haugland is even considered for the first team at Leeds.
However the rapid rise of Ryan Edmondson shows that anything is possible if he can start scoring regularly.
Edmondson signed for Leeds last year from York at just 16 and a prolific run has propelled him into the first team reckoning.
Haugland will find it tough to emulate his teammate, but it should inspire the recent addition.
