Leeds United may not be meeting the expectations of their expectant fan base this season, but winger Kemar Roofe will certainly feel that he has enjoyed a successful year in what has been a turbulent spell for his side.

A summer of extensive transfer activity promised to much, but the Whites faded away under Thomas Christiansen before he was dismissed, with former Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom struggle to build upon the work conducted by his predecessor.

However, despite the failing across the squad, Roofe has continued to shine, with a thirteen goal tally so far an excellent return for a player traditionally associated with the wide positions.

Roofe has proven to be a reliable option at Championship level, but with so much going on at Elland Road, these thoughts could be running through his head when the season closes and he heads for the beach...

Roofe has been used all over the park this term and it is clear that the former Oxford United man hasn't identified his areas of strength thus far.

Management must be blamed for the inconsistency, with both Christiansen and Heckingbottom utilising the player across the front line but his exception performance in the League Cup routing of League Two Newport from the left hand side of the attack suggests he is suited to that flank.

However, despite a hat-trick on the day, Roofe hasn't played on the left wing since.

Unbelievable considering his effectiveness from the position, both Roofe and the fans will be left pondering the decision to deny him the opportunity to impress once again/

Leeds have everything in place to mount a promotion push, except the personnel.

A big stadium, fantastic fan base and a talented young boss, yet those that make up the numbers in West Yorkshire simply aren't cutting the mustard.

25-year-old Roofe is entering the best years if his career and will dream of playing in the Premier League having been let go by West Bromwich Albion, who he is likely to face next year should he stay in the second-tier, but whether he can achieve his top-flight dream at Elland Road remains to be seen.

The Whites always falter and have never seriously threatened to end their extended exodus from the premier division and Roofe will surely consider offers from Championship promotion contenders should they materialise.

Last summer saw Christiansen recruit heavily alongside director of football Victor Orta and after the failings of this year, expect another mass influx of players from around England and Europe to join the club in the coming months.

Will 'Hecky' bring in his own men and forsake Roofe for new options?

He would be foolish to do so given how much the player has brought to the team following his arrival from the U's, but stranger things have certainly happened at Leeds United.

All players must be wary when a new manager joins, especially during his debut transfer window.

Leeds fans, should Roofe be worried about his future?
