Leeds United youngster has a big opportunity this summer.
This summer is the biggest of Lewie Coyle’s career at Leeds United.
Having made his debut back under Steve Evans in 2015, Coyle has not yet cracked it as a first team regular.
He has spent the last two seasons on loan at Fleetwood Town, and now it is time for him to make an impact on the Leeds team, or move on.
He didn’t do enough to convince Marcelo Bielsa last summer, being sent on loan for a second year.
This time around, Leeds are getting back a more developed player, with more experience, and potentially even more determination to be a success.
He has spent the past year under the management of Joey Barton, who is a big fan.
Barton told the Fleetwood Weekly News: “He is a great team man. He would play anywhere for you. I think if I put him in goal he would give everything.
“He is someone Leeds should be incredibly proud of.”
Coyle has featured as part of a three man midfield this season for Fleetwood in addition to playing at right-back.
This versatility will help his chances of winning over Marcelo Bielsa.
He deserved a fair chance in pre-season, and it’s reasonably to say he has earned another shot at Championship football too.
