Cian Coleman has become the latest Leeds United youngster to sign his first professional contract at the club just hours after Ronnie McGrath penned senior terms.
Coleman has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Elland Road, which will run until the summer of 2025. The Republic of Ireland under-19 international joined the Whites at the age of nine and signed scholarship terms in the summer of 2021.
He has played 13 times for Leeds under-18s in the Under-18 Premier League North and FA Youth Cup this term, and has made a further six appearances for the under-21s in the Premier League 2 and Papa John's Trophy.
The 18-year-old was named in the Guardian's Next Generation 2021 list and has previously been invited to train with the first team by former boss Marcelo Bielsa.
