Is Lewie Coyle finished at Leeds United after being loaned out again?
Leeds United loaned Lewie Coyle back to Fleetwood Town on Friday.
It’s the 23-year-old defender’s third loan with the League One club, though this one will only last six months initially.
But Coyle’s Leeds future seems ominous and the decision to loan him out once again might spell the end for the Thorp Arch product.
Coyle is only contracted to the Whites until 2020 and he’ll be 24 by next summer.
Thing is, he won’t be able to earn an extension unless he’s playing regularly at United and so long as he’s with Fleetwood, that won’t happen.
If Victor Orta saw a long-term future for Coyle in West Yorkshire then he probably would have signed him up to a new deal before loaning him out.
Leeds have done that in the past, but the absence of an extension speaks volumes and, as things stand, it’d be a big shock if he ever played a competitive game for the Whites.
