Conor Shaughnessy made his full league debut for Leeds United against Fulham on Tuesday evening.
Shaughnessy, who can operate as a central defender or as a central midfielder, made his full league debut against Fulham earlier this week.
The 21-year-old started the Championship game against the Cottagers at Elland Road on Tuesday evening and played for the entire 90 minutes, as the Whites played out a goalless draw with the London club at home.
The youngster had also featured in the 3-2 victory over Bolton Wanderers away from home at the Macron Stadium in the Championship earlier this month.
Shaughnessy came on a substitute against Bolton when Everton-owned defender Matthew Pennington picked up an ankle injury.
Leeds defender Jansson has been impressed with Shaughnessy, and the 26-year-old Sweden international centre-back has said that he is happy to play with the youngster.
“I feel really happy to play with him,” Jansson told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Shaughnessy. “I felt happy after the game too, also for myself that I could take care of him and help him have a good appearance.
“He is good. I haven’t seen him so much and last year he was training with some training squad. This year he has been really good.
“I heard also that he was a midfielder before and that was not an easy game against Fulham, one of the toughest games in the league and he did it so good. I am happy for him.”
Leeds will return to action on Saturday evening when they take on Sunderland away from home at the Stadium of Light in the Championship.
