Leeds United have announced that Jamie Shackleton has signed a contract extension with the club.
The young midfielder has signed a four-year deal with the Yorkshire-based club, and he’ll be hoping he can continue to build on some impressive performances.
Shackleton has made 48 appearances for the Leeds first-team in total, but struggled for consistent minutes in the senior side last term, as Leeds won a long-awaited promotion back into the Premier League.

Shackleton will be keen to force himself into Marcelo Bielsa’s plans at the earliest of opportunities, with Leeds preparing for life in the Premier League.
