Leeds United have confirmed that youngster Stuart McKinstry has rejoined Motherwell on a season-long loan. The winger returns to his former club having joined the Whites from the Scottish side in 2019.
Since joining Leeds, the 19-year-old has made two first-team appearances. He made his Premier League debut in a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham last November, while he made his first Whites appearance in a Carabao Cup penalty shootout victory at Fulham two months before, where he scored the winning spot-kick.
League Two outfit Hartlepool United were also reportedly interested in McKinstry this summer, although a loan deal stalled over reported contract issues. The likes of Blackpool, Stoke City and Coventry City were linked with a move for the winger in January, but Marcelo Bielsa was reluctant to let McKinstry go due to an injury crisis.
