Leeds United's 2019 has gotten off to a good start already, with the club confirming today that young striker Mallik Wilks has signed a new deal with the club.

The new deal for Wilks will keep him at Elland Road until 2022, and he will be hoping to keep impressing going into 2019 as he continues his loan spell with Doncaster Rovers.

Wilks has been in good form for Rovers since making the move to the Keepmoat Stadium from Leeds, banging in seven goals and helping his teammates with four assists too.

The 20-year-old will be hoping to kick on now in 2019 as he looks to cement a place in the Leeds squad for next year, with his form at Doncaster between now and the end of the current campaign likely to have a big bearing on if Marcelo Bielsa includes the youngster in his plans next term.

The youngster was clearly happy with getting a new deal, and he took to Twitter to voice his delight at signing a new deal with the club.

There was of course, plenty of Leeds fans out there who wanted to wish Wilks well, and we at FLW were on hand to check out just what was being said by the Whites fans in response to Wilks' tweet...
