The right-back has agreed fresh terms at Leeds United.
Leeds United right-back Luke Ayling has taken to social media after he put pen to paper on a new contract at Elland Road.
The 26-year-old signed for Leeds from Bristol City in 2016 and he quickly became a fan favourite with his consistent performances.
This time round his form has dipped slightly – along with most of his teammates in recent weeks – but Ayling is still one of the few reliable players Thomas Christiansen can call on, a steady 6 or 7/10 every week.
Taking to Twitter after the news of his new deal, the Leeds defender wrote: “Buzzing to have extended my stay at this great club…hope I can get this club back to where it belongs.
“Also thank you to all who have messaged me, (I am) reading them all and your support doesn’t go unnoticed.”
While Leeds struggle for consistency at left-back, Ayling is the undisputed first choice on the opposite flank and that is expected to remain the case for some time to come.
Leeds are currently sixth in the Championship table, six points behind leaders Cardiff City heading into the weekend fixture against Bristol City.
That will not be an easy game for a Leeds side that has lost three on the bounce, but a win on Saturday could kick-start an improvement in form just when the Whites need it the most.
