Paudie O’Connor has left Leeds.

One year after making a promising breakthrough at Leeds United, Paudie O’Connor has been sold.

The young centre-back has joined Bradford City, with Leeds confirming his departure.

O’Connor sent a message out on Twitter last night reflecting on his departure.

He thanked Leeds United for giving him the opportunity of a lifetime, and fans for their support.

O’Connor made four appearances for Leeds under Paul Heckingbottom.

He had two loan spells this past season, at Blackpool and then with Bradford City.

If Leeds were not prepared to give him first team football then a permanent sale is best for O’Connor.

It’s a surprise though that he was not given a pre-season first or given one more loan spell.
