The young right-back, Lucas Odunston, has announced his departure from Leeds United.

Odunston’s two-year scholarship contract is due to expire this summer and it appears he will not be offered fresh terms.

The 18-year-old posted the following tweet on Monday evening – just weeks after he featured on trial for Leeds’ Championship rivals, Hull City:

Odunston never made a first-team appearance for Leeds, whose options in his position have included Luke Ayling, Gaetano Berardi and Jamie Shackleton.

The Whites can also call upon Bryce Hosannah and Robbie Gotts, and will soon have Lewie Coyle back from a loan spell at Fleetwood Town.

It remains to be seen whether or not Odunston will be offered a full-time deal by Hull.

The Tigers have also taken another of Leeds’ out of contract youngsters, Alex Wollerton, on trial in recent months.
