Leeds United captain Liam Cooper has takent a few weeks to assess the club's relegation to the Championship. But now he is determined to 'bounce back' next season.
Cooper was unable to prevent the Whites' slide towards relegation in a campaign which saw three managers at the Elland Road club. Injuries restricted the 31-year-old to just 18 Premier League appearances, but the experience defender felt the pain of relegation as much as the fans.
It's the second season in a row the club have battled against the drop, but unlike 12 months ago, this time the challenge proved too great. Cooper is currently on international duty with Scotland, but will return to pre-season training next month with a clear goal in mind.
