Leeds United duo Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood made a visit to Liam Cooper’s LC6 Academy on Tuesday evening. The Whites youngsters showed their faces and joined in with training on the same day their new long-term contracts were announced.
Gelhardt put pen-to-paper on a new five-year-deal at Elland Road to take him up until the summer of 2027, while Greenwood’s fresh terms will extend his stay until the summer of 2026. Fellow youngster Crysencio Summerville also signed a new four-year-deal.
Both Gelhardt and Greenwood have known each other for several years now having first played together for England’s Under-17s. Their career pathways have taken a similar trajectory since then, both joining Leeds in the summer of 2020 following the club’s promotion to the Premier League.
