Sixty-five days after beginning a medical at Leicester City with a view to leaving Leeds United, Jack Harrison has signed a new contract at Elland Road. The Whites have today confirmed a five-year deal for the winger, taking him to June 2028 and 31-years-old.
Talks on new terms had been ongoing between Harrison’s representatives and the club for several months, but efforts were renewed to secure his future after January’s transfer episode. On the last day of the transfer window, Leeds agreed to terms with Leicester on a switch for Harrison to King Power Stadium.
The transfer was far enough down the line for the former Manchester City man to travel to Leicestershire in order to get it over the line before 11pm. However, once United’s 49ers Enterprises contingent reconsidered at the 11th hour, the plug was pulled.
