Leeds United have sold Lewie Coyle to Fleetwood Town.
Leeds United central defender Liam Cooper has taken to Twitter to send a message to Lewie Coyle following the right-back’s permanent exit from the club.
Coyle has joined Fleetwood Town in League One on a permanent contract from Championship outfit Leeds.
The 24-year-old right-back had been out on at Fleetwood since 2017 and was out of contract at the Whites at the end of the season.
Coyle, who can also operate as a central midfielder or as a left-back, is delighted to have made a permanent move to Fleetwood, and Cooper is happy for him, while some Leeds fans have also given their take on the Englishman’s departure on Twitter.
Sensible move
Coyle made just 23 appearances for the Leeds first team, as stated on the club’s official website, and it was clear that he did not have a long-term future at Elland Road.
The right-back has been a success during his loan spell at Fleetwood, and with Joey Barton’s side aiming for promotion from League One, it did make sense for him to severe his ties with Leeds and move to the Trawlermen on a permanent basis.
