Jamie Shackleton has returned to Leeds United where he faces an uncertain summer, following the completion of his loan at Millwall. The midfielder spent the entire campaign in the Championship with the south Londoners, making 37 appearances in all competitions and helping Gary Rowett’s side compete for a play-off spot for much of the season.
Unfortunately for Millwall, their hopes of winning promotion to the Premier League were dashed on Monday as a 4-3 defeat to Blackburn Rovers at The Den ensured they missed out on a place in the top six. As a result, Shackleton’s spell with the Lions has come to an end and he will now return to Elland Road, where his future is every much unclear.
The 23-year-old has just one more year left to run on his current contract with the Whites at present and with game time being far from guaranteed, irrespective of what division United find themselves in next season, it seems both the club and the player could have a decision to make. Shackleton’s agent Hayden Evans has already suggested a move away from his boyhood club might be on the cards this summer and the player will be considering his options over the coming weeks and months.
