Leeds United winger Jack Harrison has admitted he can’t quite believe he is closing in on his 150 th appearance for the club.
Harrison is now in his fourth season with the Whites, despite only making his move from Manchester City a permanent one last summer.
The 25-year-old’s first three campaigns at the club were all spent on loan, which enabled him to develop his game and get better and better with every passing year.

And after auctioning off his match-worn shirt from the 3-2 win over West Ham United earlier this month, in which Harrison scored his first career hattrick, he opened up on the upcoming landmark and how he has grown both on and off the pitch since his arrival in 2018.
He said: “It sounds really crazy because after just signing last season, it hasn't quite hit me I've had almost 150 appearances here and to have played so much I'm really grateful for my time here, it's been fantastic so far and I've developed so much as a person, as a player. I just hope it can continue going forward.”
In terms of going forward, Leeds and Harrison were brought back to earth in their previous Premier League match with a 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United.
But Harrison is eager to move on quickly from the disappointment of last time out and can’t wait for the next outing against Aston Villa, where they will be looking to put it right.
He said: “A tough pill to swallow after Newcastle, we really wanted three points from that and I don't think we deserved to lose either. I think the way we played, especially the first half was actually quite a good performance, we just weren't able to get the finish and the last part of the play right.
“So, it is a little bit frustrating but we're not trying to get too cut up on it. Everyone came back today after a couple days off, ready to work and motivated and refreshed as well so I know we'll be working really hard next week and making sure we're ready for Villa.”
