Garry Monk was appointed as the Leeds United head coach in the summer.

Leeds United youngster Lewie Coyle has told BBC Radio Leeds that he is enjoying working with head coach Garry Monk.

Monk was appointed the Leeds head coach in the summer following the departure of Steve Evans at the end of the 2015-16 season.

The former Swansea City manager did not start well at Elland Road, but the Whites are in good form at the moment.

The West Yorkshire outfit are currently sixth in the Championship table and are in the running for a playoff spot.

Coyle, who is 21 years of age and can play as right-back or as a right-winger, has suggested that he is enjoying working with Monk.

“Very good,” the youngster told BBC Radio Leeds when asked what it is like to work with Monk. “As I said, from day one, he has been spot on, really good for us young players obviously, for the older players as well.

“He is enthusiastic, he is willing to bring us on as players and as people as well, so he is great to have around the place.”

Coyle, who is on the sidelines at the moment due to a knee injury, has played just once in the Championship so far this season.

The 21-year-old is not guaranteed a place in the Leeds starting lineup, but the youngster is certainly talented and is one for the future.

Leeds will take on Newcastle United at Elland Road in the Championship after the international break.
