Doors are not being closed prematurely by Daniel Farke at Leeds United. Forgotten names left out of sight and out of mind for 12 months are not being automatically frozen out by the new manager.
Jamie Shackleton and Ian Poveda, both 23, have one year left on their respective contracts at Elland Road. They each spent last season in the Championship with Millwall and Blackpool respectively.
They were among the names you may have expected to see farmed out to the under-21s through pre-season before securing their next transfers away from Thorp Arch. However, they were in the thick of the action released by the club from Farke’s first day on the grass with the players.
