Courageous as it was, Cody Drameh’s decision to stay at Leeds United and fight for minutes under Jesse Marsch has not yielded the appearances he wanted. The 20-year-old backed himself to compete with Rasmus Kristensen and Luke Ayling, but with both of them fit and firing, the former Fulham man has barely made the bench, let alone the pitch.
There was one moment of light for Drameh at Brentford, where an injured Kristensen and rusty Ayling opened the door for the youngster. While his 69 minutes were solid, Ayling would outshine him from the bench and after the enforced break Kristensen would be fit to return.
There have been regular outings in Premier League 2 with the under-21s, but in similar circumstances 12 months ago, Drameh sought a January move away. There was arguably even more of a pathway for Drameh last season, so when the transfer window opens again, he may be tempted to look for opportunities further afield.
