Lewie Coyle has left Leeds United for Fleetwood Town on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window.
Coyle recently joined League One outfit Fleetwood on a season-long loan deal from Championship club Leeds.
The 21-year-old, who can operate as as a right-back or as a right-winger, struggled for playing time at Elland Road last season, and the youngster will hope to feature regularly for his former Leeds head coach Rosler.
The youngster featured in a pre-season friendly match for Fleetwood against Queen of the South last week. The 21-year-old scored in the 62nd minute to help the Trawlermen win 1-0 at Poolfoot Farm.
Fleetwood manager Rosler was impressed with the goal scored by Coyle and has backed him to be a success in League One next season.
“One wing-back crossed the ball and another wing-back scored the goal; from wing-back to wing-back, that is how we want to play,” Rosler told Fleetwood Weekly News.
“Coyley is a player who has the physicality and the knowledge and toughness to do that over the whole season.”
In the handful of appearances Coyle has made in the Championship for Leeds so far in his career, he has shown that he is good enough to play at a very high level.
Fleetwood are an ambitious club, and they will be looking to win automatic promotion from League One to the Championship at the end of next season.
If Coyle plays well and impresses, then he could establish himself in the Leeds first team during the 2018-19 campaign.
