Leeds United certainly made the most of their youth system last season. The Whites made a habit of supplementing their first-team with their best young talent from the under-23s squad and as a result, a number of youngsters managed to pick up valuable Premier League game time.
However, as a side the under-23s were relegated from Premier League 2 Division 1 into the second tier of youth football and they’ll be keen to bounce back quickly with success on the field in the new under-21s format.
The Whites learned their Papa John’s Trophy opponents earlier this week with trips to Bolton Wanderers, Tranmere Rovers and Crewe Alexandra lined up and their league fixtures will be released later this summer.
