The 20-year-old made his long-awaited Leeds United debut on Saturday.
Will Huffer is clearly over the moon with his Leeds United debut.
The young goalkeeper came through the 90 minutes unscathed as Leeds beat Bristol City 2-0 at Elland Road on Saturday.
Huffer, 20, was playing in the absence of the injured Bailey Peacock-Farrell, with Kamil Miazek, his goalkeeping rival, starting on the bench.
The London-born stopper, who joined Leeds as an eight-year-old, told LUTV about his debut yesterday.
He told LUTV when asked about his bow: “There’s nothing like it. I got goosebumps walking on to the pitch.
“I get goosebumps in the stand when Marching on Together comes on, so to walk out is an absolute dream come true.”
Marching on Together is the club’s anthem, and the fact that it moves Huffer is evidence of his love for the Whites.
He is unlikely to keep the number one shirt in the long term, because Peacock-Farrell will displace him when he is fit.
But there’s still plenty of incentive for Huffer who can convince Director of Football Victor Orta not to sign a replacement for Jamal Blackman in January.
Blackman suffered a broken leg for the Under-23s earlier this month, resulting in him returning to parent club Chelsea and opening the door for Huffer to come in.
If he can impress in training and matchdays when given the chance, it could persuade the Spanish technical director to let him rival Peacock-Farrell.
