Charlie Cresswell 'going back north a man' as Leeds United star's Millwall loan spell ends

Leeds United youngster Charlie Cresswell says he's returning north a man after completing his season-long loan spell with Championship side Millwall. The Whites academy graduate enjoyed both the highs and lows of the second tier of English football, but was a mainstay in the Lions' side during their play-off push.

Cresswell and his side were in contention to finish in the Championship play-offs heading into the final day, with a win guaranteeing them a spot in the top-six. Gary Rowett's side had a 3-1 lead over fellow play-off hopefuls Blackburn Rovers, but ended up losing 4-3 which saw Sunderland sneak in on the final day.

The 20-year-old made 28 appearances for Millwall, scoring five times and notching one assist - an impressive return for a centre-half. Cresswell missed the last seven games of the Championship run in, including the chaotic defeat on the final day, having fractured his eye socket against West Brom.
