Leeds United’s Luke Ayling has made more tackles than any other defender in the Sky Bet Championship this season, according to a stat that has been revealed from Twitter user @LUFCDATA.

The tweet states that Ayling has made 102 tackles, which is more than any defender in the other 23 Championship teams.

Ayling joined Leeds during the summer, and has played a key role in helping Garry Monk’s side to challenge for promotion to the Premier League.

The right-back has missed just two league fixtures since his arrival from Bristol City in August.

Monk’s side managed without Ayling, who was serving the first match of a two game suspension, when they defeated Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon, to solidify their place in the top-six.

Ayling will once again be absent for Leeds when they face Reading on April 1st, but will return for the midweek clash with Brentford just a few days later.
