Jamie Shackleton insists there are “exciting things to come” from Leeds United midfielder Archie Gray. The 16-year-old has made an immediate impression in the embryonic stages of his career and is teetering on the brink of his senior competitive debut at Elland Road.
Gray has captained England U16s, has two caps for the U17s and is already playing for the U23s with Leeds. He made the bench six times for the first team last season and also played against Tranmere Rovers for the U21s at the age of 15 in September 2021.
The early signs are promising and Gray further illustrated his potential during pre-season. He played 72 minutes in Leeds’s 4-0 victory over Blackpool in July and received raving reviews for his composure and maturity in the heart of midfield.
