Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt has vowed to ‘continue working hard’ after putting pen-to-paper on a new five-year-deal with the club. Gelhardt’s new contract will take him until the summer of 2027 at Elland Road and his extension is a huge show of confidence in the 20-year-old.
After making his breakthrough into the first team last season, Gelhardt will be looking for even more senior minutes in the new campaign. He scored two goals, provided two assists and won two penalties in just 732 minutes of action, contributing to some huge moments across the season.
His penalty win against Wolves, goal at home to Norwich City and assist against Brighton & Hove Albion – all of which happened in stoppage time – were crucial to helping Leeds narrowly avoid the drop. Speaking to LUTV, Gelhardt revealed his delight at signing a new deal with the club and is hopeful he can provide some more memorable moments as long as he continues working hard.
