The 18-year-old put pen to paper on a professional deal with Leeds United.
Theo Hudson has signed his first professional contract at Leeds United.
The 18-year-old put pen to paper on his first senior deal at Thorp Arch on Monday, having come through the club’s academy.
Hudson, who made his debut for Leeds’ Under-23s earlier this season, said on Twitter that it was a ‘dream come true’ for him to sign a pro contract with the Yorkshire side.
And here’s how United fans – and team-mate Ryan Edmondson – reacted to the news on Twitter:
Hudson made his bow for Carlos Corberan’s side in a rousing 4-0 win over Charlton Athletic’s Under-23s in March.
It’s still way too early to be talking about his senior prospects under Marcelo Bielsa, but it’s reasonable to expect him to kick on in Corberan’s youth squad next season and get more experience at a higher level.
That being said, if he is good enough then he will catch the eye of Bielsa, who keeps abreast of what happens in the youth ranks. That is, providing the Argentine stays at Elland Road.
Bielsa, who failed to bring Leeds back into the Premier League, could yet leave the Championship club amid speculation about Roma being interested [Di Marzio].
