Gotts took to Instagram to send a parting message to the Elland Road out, thanking the players and staff that had helped him along the way, and a number of his current and former teammates were quick to offer responses.

The Verdict

It seems Gotts was a popular member of the Leeds squad, with a string of his current and former teammates wasting no time in reacting to his parting message and wishing him well as he departs for Barrow.

That's testament to the atmosphere and squad chemistry at Elland Road at the moment,

The signing is a hugely impressive one for the Bluebirds, who add a 21-year-old midfielder with a huge amount of potential and a player that will no doubt be determined to prove himself away from Elland Road.

Whether it proves to be a mistake letting him go remains to be seen but given the rise we've seen from the Whites in recent years, you can completely understand them looking to move Gotts on.

You'd imagine that Leeds will have included a sell-on clause in the deal, just in case their academy graduate really kicks on with the Cumbrian club.
