Terry Potter is set to become Leeds United’s first ever academy ambassador after leaving his role as the club’s head of local recruitment. Potter spent 20 years in his role at Leeds discovering a number of top young talents, including Kalvin Phillips, who sealed a £42million switch to Premier League champions Manchester City last month after over 200 appearances for the Whites.
A statement from the club read: “Greatly respected Leeds United Head of Local Recruitment, Terry Potter, will step down from his role at Leeds United Academy next month. Following Terry’s departure, the club will announce him as the first ever Ambassador of Leeds United Academy.
“Terry has been responsible for leading the department which has found some of the academy’s finest talent from across the region. The Leeds-born man has worked for Leeds United’s Academy for 20 years, finding some of our greatest academy players.
